This is a question 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 actually own an Orgone Accumulator
Or rather, an orgone energy device. It's supposed to be able to detect and then cure illnesses -- ones you haven't actually got yet, I think. From memory it describes itself as a "De La Warr Energy Device".

It was sealed, but naturally I opened it up. I expected to see nothing at all inside - a snake-oil hoax - but no, there are lots of carefully hand-made components, in brass, copper and perspex.

Unfortunately I've never managed to make it do anything. Regardless of how loud I play Hawkwind at it.

There's a description of the machine here:

looks like an Artist;'s interpretation of science
(The studio was the clue) And if you do indeed possess the device you absolutely owe it to yourself to read A Book of Dreams.
