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.

Actually, this reminds me of a classic put-down I was able to do once. I was in a pub as part of a large group and overheard one or the more feminist women there spouting on about how Robin Hobb was like so many fantasy authors by always writing about sex from the male perspective and generally making it clear that she despised the way men write fantasy.
I really enjoyed the look on her face when I leaned over and said 'Cathy, do you know that Robin Hobb is a pen-name? Her real name is Megan Lindholm...'
