If books are one of your biggest loves, like they are mine, then you may be interested in my Beloved Books fanpage on Facebook.
This is a place for all book lovers to meet and discuss which books they love.
We are also just starting out with a book group and people are currently voting on our first selection. The voting for this can be found in the poll tab at the top of the Beloved Books page.
Please come over and get involved, the more the merrier.
This is one of a series of posts I am creating about authors I love.
Now I know this will be a totally subjective exercise, and just because I love the books there is no guarantee that you will too, but even so, I just wanted to share.
The authors will be quite diverse as I have wide ranging taste, but still, perhaps that means there will be something for everyone.
So pull up a pew, and have a little look at what is offer. You never know, you might just see something you fancy….

I have loved Douglas Adams’ work since the first time I picked up a copy of the Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.
I am not a real science fiction literary fan , although I do enjoy science fiction films, but there was something about his sense of humour that got me hooked straight away.
I have now experienced HHGG on radio, on the page and on both the small and large screen and it still doesn’t fail to make me laugh. I have read all the books in the Hitchhiker series, the Dirk Gently novels and even the Salmon of Doubt a posthumous book contaning his essays, letters and 11 chapters of a what would most probably have resulted in the next Dirk Gently novel.
Adams had a background in writing for television, notably with the Monty Python team and later in life he became a vocal environmentalist, atheist and lover of the Apple Mac. He died at the age of 49 in 2001.
If you have never read any of his work then pick up a book today, believe me a treat lies in wait for you.
