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.

Carter Beats The Devil by Glen David GoldIf you have even a passing interest in magic and/or the culture and lifestyle of the 1920's then I don't think you'll be anything other than thoroughly entertained by this book.
It's the first novel I properly fell in love with, so much so that I've never been able to let it go, leaving it on the shelf until enough time has passed for me to enjoy it all over again.
Gold's follow-up "Sunnyside" is also good if not quite in the same league, but worth a read if you have an interest in the silent film era and a certain Charlie Chaplin.

I prefer the equivocal Charlie Chaplin, myself.Much less up himself.

Indeed.I bought it in a charity shop because I thought the cover was cool. Great book, might be time to pick it up again.

Really?I thought the book was tremendous, but the cover makes me cringe. Just goes to show... something or other.
