Post R.I.P. Iain Banks
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-22838993

One of my favourite authors of all time . . . Scottish writer Iain Banks died on Sunday . . . 2 months after revealing he had terminal cancer.

I loved all his work but especially the science fiction books he published under the name Iain M. Banks.

He will be sorely missed.

He was so brave above it all too. His blog tracking his last few months was great. RIP Iain. You will not be forgotten.
