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.

FlashmanFunny, incredibly well researched and very insightful - tragic that George MacDonald Fraser popped his clogs a few years back. Mr American was also really good..
I wasn't sure of the first Flashman because he rapes an Indian servant in it but I quickly grew to love the books and the character.
So much so that a I forgot about the rape scene and lent the first novel to a girl I was trying to bed. I don't think she finished it and I never got to play hide the sasuage with her, but I just could not be mad with Harry.
Recently been following the herd reading A Song of Ice and Fire.. hope we don't have to wait 5 years for the next one..

^thisLove 'em - absolutely superb books.... And when you finish one you realise you just learned a load of incisive historical facts about British military campaigns of the 1800s without realising it.
