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'm going to sit on the fence on this one......I bought chickenlady a Kindle for xmas and she absolutely adores it, but she would agree that there is certain tactile pleasure about turning the pages of a old, well bound book (and I'm not referring to a pre-1979 copy of Playbirds magazine here). Old books smell better than new ones anyway (unless you're talking about a superannuated, pre-1979 copy of Playbirds magazine which has spent the last 32 years in a builders' lav and is thus best avoided).
Just because we now have CDs and MP3s it doesn't mean that no-one collects vinyl anymore.

Good point, well made...and don't forget that I still want back my copy of the 'superannuated, pre-1979 Playbirds magazine which had spent the last 32 years in a builders' lav'...
I lent it to you 5 years ago ffs!
p.s don't worry about wiping it down before returning it :)
