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.

TPI really enjoyed "Feet of Clay". Others not so much. Any in particular you recommend?

At the risk of taking things too seriouslyI have a history with Pratchett. He's not the genius that some people would have you believe, but he does have moments of greatness.
I read the first 10-15 or so when I was in my teens/early 20's, and loved them. Then started to get bored of reading the same thing over and over so missed a few years. Since then he has been hit & miss. The vampires stuff is shit, his things about Tax and the postal system are pretty good. The recent one about football is shockingly bad. Although he probably doesn't remember writing it.
