BooksWe 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.

Two for me...Although I read A LOT, only two books really stand out for me among modern literature that I've read:
- Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
- The Road by Cormac McCarthy
These are the only two books I have ever read in one sitting.
Sorry for lack of funnies.

Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card is OK, too.It's too big for one sitting, though.

All the Enderverse novels are excellent, but...the first one is still the best.

I love McCarthybut Scott-Card is a nasty, racist homophobe and I can't read him for that alone. Well, that and the fact that the Ender books are almost terminally tedious.

Each to their own....To be honest I know nothing about him as a person, the attitudes you refer to don't come across in the book I referenced above.
On the other hand, I've read lots of books about and by people I find objectionable in real life.
