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.

Steeleye And The Lost Magic.•
My first taste of choose-your-own. Plus, the illustrations were amazing and a few of them were pretty scary for a children's book.
Also: Richard Bachman's (yeah alright, Stephen King's)The Running Man. Fuck that dire Arnie film, the only similarity it has with this book is the name of the protagonist. The film is a generic action flick with an upbeat ending, the book is a scathing social commentary with, without giving too much away, an ending which is curiously prophetic when compared with recent history ...

As far as I'm concerned,the best version of "The Running Man" was the one made by the Sunderland Independent Film Corporation that was featured on Shooting Stars.
