I got this in Waterstone’s in London last year for three quid as part of a “you shoud start reading these books” promotion and, as I’ve been having my rediscovering sci-fi odyssey in the last couple of years that seemed to make sense.

I’ve read a couple of his “Iain Banks” novels over the years – The Wasp Factory and Dead Air as I remember in the mists of time.

Very much looking forward to this.
