Big fan of Iain Banks. The Wasp Factory, Complicity, Use of Weapons and Consider Phlebas are my favourites. Love the epic scope of his sci-fi, he's got some great ideas. The Lazy Gun in Against A Dark Background is cool, its effects when fired at a target are unpredictable, it might crush someone with an anchor, summon a tidal wave, or destroy a city with a comet. Definite Douglas Adams influence there, I reckon.

yeah, raping the husband with his wife's pink dildo (in loving detail :psyduck:) was as far as I made it into that book, and I haven't picked up a Banks book since.

Wasn't that bad, they were just role-playing.
