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'd have to say I'll read anything and everything ..the back of shampoo bottles and the Arabic on the back of Johnsons arse wipes included..
But my favorite humorous writer would have been Spike Milligan,in particular his war memoirs ,as a child they were my first introduction to what could be termed an adult writing.
William Manchester's Arms of Krupps is a good insight into the German war machine and industrial superiority.

The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell ,given to me by my Dad as a kid as an introduction to Socialism and the importance of the trade union movement.
