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.

So what you're saying is that you're not bright enough to follow the perfectly straightforward plot of a book aimed at adolescents despite numerous readings because the author used too many words?
