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.

The Rules of Attraction is quite clearly not Ellis's best work.In fact, it ranks alongside Lunar Park as his worst. Best is American Psycho. And Less Than Zero was an incredible achievement.

Massive idiot hereI meant Less Than Zero - I wrote the last page in a hurry and got confused. Rules of Attraction is my favourite film adap of Ellis' work, Less Than Zero is my favourite book. I feel pretty stupid right now.
