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.

John Brunner
beat William Gibson to the cyberpunk punch by a good few years with The Shockwave Rider: that, Stand On Zanzibar and The Sheep Look Up are towering SF masterpieces. M. John Harrison's Viriconium out-Goths the Sisters of Mercy. Bob Shaw's Orbitsville is great. Anything by Robert Sheckley. All the Hyperion quartet by Dan Simmons. Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. Schismatrix Plus by Bruce Sterling, anything by him really. Most of Greg Egan's work ( I'm not over keen on Schild's Ladder ).
