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.

There's a room in Exeter's maritime museum
which has an orange capsule-style boat in the entrance. Or rather, as you discover as you enter the room, about half of the boat. The plaque reads something along the lines of "Mr XXX set off from YYY on ZZZ, attempting a solo voyage across QQQ. He was never heard from again. This wreckage was found some months later."
The entire room is full of similar recovered wrecks and parallel stories. Very chilling.
