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've similar taste it seems
Can't recommend Bill Bryson enough.
My main critisism about Iain M Banks though is that it's a cracking good lead up to something, but you see the pages dwindling at the back and wonder when it's all going to kick off. Usually it's in the last two pages.
Having read a few by Bret Easton Ellis, I can't help skip the odd page here and there, especially if it's describing a suit in no less than 1000 words. Excellent read, but with some rather slow bits inbetween...
