#IainMBanks #TheCulture #SurfaceDetail
I've decided to re-read the entire series of Culture novels and short stories this summer. Been musing which one to start with. Not by order of publication. I'll take them in whichever order I feel like, one-by-one, starting today with Surface Detail because I remember fondly the character Lededje Y'breq who is taught and trained by the Mind on her ship Of Course I Still Love You.
Mmm, delicious Culture immersion.

@iain --
I understand that.
I'm playing/reviewing March of the Ants right now. It is a 4X that plays in two hours.
It might hit that spot for you.

Iain M. Banks (1954–2013) was born #OTD, 16 Feb: a 🎂 🧵
1/13“Iain Banks… is a novelist who has his own ‘double’, an author for whom the idea of a split writing persona is emphatically not out of place”

Few animals scare full-grown African elephants. -- But bees are among them.
So it was to bees that
#Iain #Douglas-#Hamilton looked when he sought to draw a line between the pachyderms’ domain and humanity’s.The farmers of Samburu, the Kenyan county where his research was based,
bore elephants no ill will as long as the beasts kept out of their smallholdings.But the elephants did not know that.
#Bee #fences—hives established at regular intervals on a farm’s perimeter—not only deterred the interlopers, they also yielded a mellifluous profit.

Yesterday evening I had my most intense reading experience in decades, reading the climax of Iain M Banks' Consider Phlebas .
I'm a bit under the weather, last day of vacation before we'd return home from Saxon Switzerland and really should have been in bed, but I simply couldn't put the book down for 100 pages of slowly and dreadfully building climax.
I'm a very slow reader, and normally my brain has a tendency to fall asleep reading while I would prefer to focus on the book, but this was the polar opposite: I had to stop but couldn't.

The trains and tunnels section of Consider Phlebas makes for a frustrating re-read in which I find myself almost screaming "kill the fucking Idiran" at the human characters.

Chapter one of Consider Phlebas. Not great to read over lunch.
