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.

Not a recommendation of any book or author but from 1999 – 2001 I worked for Amazon.
Each week we would have a meeting to review transcripts of customer complaints so we could identify ways to make the site and the customer service better.
This is a rough recollection of one complaint:
Customer: “I ordered a set of books on opera for my elderly father”
Call centre op’: “may I take your order number please”
Customer: “It’s a disgrace”
Call centre op’: “I would like to help you, but first I need your order number”
Customer: “It’s filth I tell you. Absolute filth”
Call centre op’: “What is madam?”
Customer: “the smut you’ve sent my father. He has a heart condition you know”
Call centre op’: “I am sorry but you need to tell me more so I can help you”
Customer: “I ordered books on opera you stupid man and your company has sent him pornography. Absolutely disgusting. I am going to contact the press. It’s a disgrace. Why do you sell such degrading filth? He has a heart condition you know”
The call centre op’ realising there has been a miss pick in the warehouse and now thoroughly hacked off with the tirade he is getting from the customer replied: “Imagine how the bloke who got the books on opera felt”
