Favourite writers? There are so many, but top of the tree has to be Hilary Mantel (Wolf Hall) and George McDonald Fraser (The Flashman Papers), both grand exponents of the fact-based fictional style. Other favourites include Norman Lewis, DH Lawrence, Martin Amis, AA Gill, Carl Hiaasen and... how long have you got?
