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.

Last Chance to See - Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine. I lent a copy of that book to a class mate in my first year at Uni way back and got it back 3 years later after everyone in that year group had read it.
It was properly battered, its cover half off, ear marked throughout, pages yellowing and some of it held together with sellotape.
Just the fact that 15 to 20 or so people read it and passed it on saying, "it is Sutit's book, he wont mind you borrowing it but make sure he gets it back" or similar makes this book my favorite. Countless times I almost bought a replacement thinking it had been lost or nabbed.
So that has to be my favorite book on my shelf and not because it is a bloody good read, (even though it is).
