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.

I disagreeIt should stand on its own without readers having to seek help from a study guide. No novel should be so difficult to read that it needs to be explained. It shouldn't be necessary and only makes it seem that the author is saying "look, aren't I clever?"

I don't really think Joyce needed to say "look, aren't I clever".(

I dunno.I suspect the point was to write a good book and expand on some of the themes from the Dubliners. But ... you know ... I'm probably being terribly old-fashioned or sutin.
