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.

I read lots and lots of books
Harry Potter books are badly written, contain plot holes, stupid nonsensical games (quidditch is shit)& the 1st 3 books are almost identical.
BUT
They are loads of fun and thoroughly engaging & exciting and worth reading so long as you aren't a intellectual snob. I've read Umberto Eco's Foucault's pendulum. Which is like a 3 course meal of a book. The Harry potter books are more like chewing gum. We all need to eat but chewing a bit of gum every now and then isn't bad is it?
