Anyone up for synching some new usernames after the No Gravitas jokes? :) There's a whole bunch plus a few that haven't been in any books that he apparently dropped in an interview.

Kind of a waste of money I guess but it would be fun.

I finished Surface Detail today and I'm still chuckling at the scene where the Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints is musing to himself about how awesome he is.

Also, I really, really like the way Banks writes terse, short-hand communication mid-fights; I don't even know why, it just flows really well and sounds cool.

I've posted my Banks images on Redbubble for those that are interested. The markup will all go to a charity helping survivors of sexual abuse, of which Banks was patron.

Enjoy!

I love your art style and I love Iain M. Banks so this is basically a Christmas gift to me. You own.
