BooksWe 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.

Used to be a fan"The Fog" was the first "grown up" book I read when I was a kid, and I loved it. Think I've read it about a dozen times since then. I did enjoy "The Rats" trilogy, "Domain" being my favourite, but from about "Sepulchre" onwards he was complete rubbish. I absolutely hated "The Secret of Crickley Hall" in particular. I did like "The Magic Cottage" though, possibly because I read it immediately after finishing my exams at school after having it sitting on my shelf for ages, waiting until all the revision was behind me. He wrote a follow-up to it too - think it was called "Once", or maybe that was a different one.
As for the sex scenes, the one in "Shrine" was particularly gratuitous, and went on for ages.

I just finished reading '48 and enjoyed it. Little short though. Loved The Rats and Domain also. Nobody True was quite good and a little different. Magic Cottage was shit.
I quite like how he always uses familiar places (London) in his stories. Kind of gets you right in there with the characters.
