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.

Totally this.
He's a fucking great author IMO, and this is my favourite of his (though it was the first I read, so maybe that's why). Wonderfully written, intelligent interweaving plots and fantastic characters. With cloud Atlas, I would say I know a lot of people that have given up in the first chapter due to the writing style and language. I struggled with it myself but I was more than pleased that I persevered. If you're finding it difficult to get into then trust me, it changes and I hope you will be happy you stuck with it.
