...and rarely post!


I love Iain Banks, and this thread has made me realise the last 'new' book of his I read was.. Look to Windward, which came out 10 drat years ago. Since then I have re-read many of the earlier ones, but not picked up anything new. A trip to Amazon may be in order. Anyone got a particular recommendation for a post-Windward novel (M or otherwise)?

On the topic of ship names, my friends and I loved this game at university. A few I remember (and apologies if these are actually from any of the books; it's been a long time):

Slow Decline Into Madness

Ambivalence Is Our Watchword

Reckless Disregard

It Won't Get Better If You Pick It

The Accurate Prediction of Failure

Do You Want Gravitas With That?
