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.

I agree with almost everything he says.
And I think he's a bit arrogant and pushy.
I did enjoy the Blind Watchmaker though - all that stuff about how the eye evolved, and was useful all the way through in particular. I guess my objection to all the fervour is that the majority of religious people in the UK, and the world, are infinitely more likely to organise a coffee morning than the mass slaughter of unbelievers, and I don't mind a coffee morning. And I don't believe that the slaughter of unbelievers, when it happens, has much to do with the existence or otherwise of God.
