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.

Someone once described the Foundation Trilogy as a galaxy-spanning epic involving the death and rebirth of civilisations over a period of millenia...written in the style of "Minutes of the Podunk Parent Teacher Association".

Try instead "Consider Phlebas", particularly the hot unauthorised launch from the GSV Smallbay halfway through, and the missile train crash at the end.
