This is a question 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.

Thanks. Haven't heard of them, so keep the tips coming.

Oh, I should mention that I tried and failed to get into Iain M Banks.
I don't doubt that he's a brilliant writer, but I picked up a couple of "Culture" novels and couldn't get into them enough to finish them. Just too fantastical for me to imagine and connect with, I think.

I like his 'normal' fiction, never been able to get into his Sci-Fi stuff though.

I keep meaning to check out his other books, can you recommend any in particular?

Whit is probably my favourite, closely followed by The Crow Road.
