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.

What do you make of what the David Attenborough programmes deliver to our subconsciouses?
Or of Paxman's interviewing technique? Or Working Lunch on the Beeb? Or the political analysis of Nick Robinson?
It's just that there's an equal amount of crap, masterbatory literature out there - probably more than, since the media's been around longer - as there is of crap, mastabatory television.
Such snobbery strikes me as unfounded, and pretentious - like saying one style of music is "better" than another style of music.

Clearly dubstep is inferior to D&B. There isn't really a convincing argument to the contrary.
