Books
We 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.

indeed
it's one of my hobby horses so I have read more than is good for me.
If it's nitty gritty you want then Auschwitz Inferno: Testimony of a Sonderkommando by Filip Muller is fascinating
Hoess's account of running Auschwitz is self serving bilge but still interesting.
Into That Darkness, Gita Sereny's interviews with Franz Stangl repays the time.
And of course 9 hours of Lanzmann's Shoah is indispensable. "If you could lick my heart it would poison you" Abraham Bomba.
