This is a question 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.

Fuck it, I'm starting a list. It will be added to.
In no particular order or preference -
Robert G. Barrett and Matthew Reilly - good, light, funny wind down from uni text books reading.
The Bone People - Keri Hulme
Another Country - James Baldwin - gave me a benchmark of how life might be in my early teens & shat on all the Kerouac and William S. Burroughs that I'd previously read.
Brian Lumley
Clive Barker (particularly the Books of Blood)
Ray Bradbury
Phillip K. Dick

But wait there's more...
Victor Kellerher
The Last 3 Minutes - Paul Davies - interesting read. Nice enough fella, I got to meet him after a talk he gave (in my old school chapel of all places!).
Peter Hamilton/ Iain M Banks - like a bit of space opera do I.
My Obunsha's Senior J2E & E2J as well, most Japanese people laugh at you if you pull it out tho.
