vivdunstan: Photo of some of my books (books)
Catching up with another Glasgow Worldcon talk, this time about Iain Banks and his books. I've only ever read two Iain Banks novels - The Crow Road, and The Player of Games. I also recently read, and hugely enjoyed, his whisky distillery travelogue, Raw Spirit. I would definitely like to read more of his books. Though it's more likely to be his less obviously scifi ones, because I'm not really a fan of hard scifi. Fab anecdote from Ken MacLeod just now: "There was a friend of my brother's, who was a huge fan of Iain Banks, and was most indignant at this Iain M. Banks, who was cashing in on Iain Banks's popularity."
