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 clicked like
Because this reminded me of those choose your own adventure books.
Yes, I did complete many of them, including a strange one based in that zippideedodah zippideeday Disney film setting. Damn, that was disturbing.

The "Choose your own adventure" books were really big in the mid 1980s
They consisted of the reader as a child following the narrative for a page then being offered a choice. My favourite was the one where you're a servant in Guy of Gisbourne's castle at the time of Robin Hood and you have to make choices about whether or not to help Robin's schemes.

Oh, I know what they were
It's just that the whole genre was incomprehensible to me.
I remember trying one and putting it down a few pages in because a lawnmower manual caught my eye.
