martin asked me about iain banks crow road so i thought it might be worth starting a new thread here.
Crow road was the first Iain banks book i read and it still one of my favourites (i've not read any of his sci fi stuff) of the ones i've read this is what i thought:
Wasp factory - great book, great ending
Walking on glass - another great book, i love the way he ties some amazing stories together
The Bridge - unmemorable
Espedair street - good book taught me the meaning of champagne hedgehog
Canal dreams - nope, dismissable
Crow road - great book, best opening line ever and develops into something.
Complicity - ok book, rude and crude but liked his computer civilisation
Whit - unmemorable, think i tried to like this one
The Business - instantly dismissable airport trash, i enjoyed it. Met iain when he came to the shop for this event - very professional, didn't come for a drink with us (minus two points)
I think comparable authors would be Douglas coupland, Chuck Palanhuik
