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.

Frederick Foysythis my favourite novelist by a long way. The Deceiver, Day of the Jackal, Icon and The Avenger are all amazing espionage books, and I have thoroughly enjoyed all his works including his short stories.
Classical stuff - Edward Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo or Three Musketeers take some beating. For poetry, Dante's Inferno is ace as a twisted view of the afterlife, if you can put up with all the God bothering (but not Purgatorio which is dull or Paradiso which is utter gash). Virgil's Aeneid and the Odyssey are must reads, and The Picture of Dorian Grey is class too.
