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.

I attempted to cultivate a love of Dickensby reading The Pickwick Papers, chosen because it is widely known for being very funny, and also because it features a reference to my home town.
Probably got halfway through it, before giving up, on account of it being one of the dullest books that I'd ever had the misfortune to pick up. Funny, it most certainly is not.

Indeed. The most Dickens inspires in me (apart from wanting to invoke his name in exclamation)is a desire to hand him some punctuation marks - a bag of assorted full stops and commae, with a sprinkling of semi colons, to be precise.
