Iain Banks - Thinking If You

Terribly sad to hear that the writer Iain Banks only has a few months to live. 59 seems very young to go. I have never read much of his science fiction, but have loved his other dark, humorous stories. Though the Wasp Factory is probably his best known book, the Crow Road is my favourite. In no small part because it was given to me by my partner along with a Yorkie bar as her first Christmas present to me. We had got together a couple of weeks before and were having loads of fun discovering each other. Our mutual appreciation of Banks, along with my Portishead cassette and a bottle of diSoranno are part of some lovely memories.
Good luck Iain and thank you.
