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 would have finished it when I was 21
If I hadn't met the future Mrs Grimsdale.
It's now falling apart from sheer age, and every 10 years or so I pick up where I left off - about four fifths through it.
Do try 'Dubliners' though - a bit like Picasso's early works, it shows the true genius of the craft/art before he over-took his contemporaries by 30 years. After Dubliners, you may want to go back to Ulysses.
