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.

The fiddler himself
Arthur C Clarke is always worth a read, especially if he's collaborated with a character writer as he did in 'The light of other days'. That book is about new technology that is designed so that that atom sized cameras can go through worm holes and see into the past and present. Goes into the effect it would have on society when anyone can be viewed by anyone at anytime.....People either start walking down the road stark naked because it's no big deal anymore, or they start using stealth technology to be hidden to the remote viewers. Also they send cameras back to biblical times and the creation of the human race. Prob not everyones cup of tea but I loved it.
