Books
We love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

The Handmaiden's Tale is quite good
but then again I read it when I was about 12 years old, so it'll probably seem rather dull now.

My militant feminist English teacher
tried to get us (an all-boy class) to read that. We kicked up a fuss for the entire first half of the term, and she switched us to something else. No idea if it was any good, but it certainly didn't grab me (mind you, I was only reading John Wyndham and Star Trek/Warhammer novels at the time, so I probably wasn't the intended audience).
