(Quick search didn’t show this up; strangely)
Just randomly heard a The National song that I liked - and saw it was called Wasp Nest.
So now I can file that with the other two favourites of theirs: Terrible Love (spiders) & Bloodbuzz Ohio (bees).
100% seems a statistically significant number!
What gives!?
Hey collective wisdom!
We’re coming from west of Glasgow to meet folks coming from Fife - wanted to meet up kinda halfway for a midweek pub lunch.
Guide books (OK, just Scotland the Best) is a tad sparse in that area!
Any suggestions? We’re not looking for michelin gastropub - but hopefully something that isn’t a Harvester in Cumbernauld?
thnx!
Don’t downvote/flame me - this is just a fun/intellectual exercise!
On a r/printSF thread, I saw someone get downvoted, most likely because they wished someone could have continued Iain’s work (it was a The Algabraist thread)..
There’s almost certainly no single author I’d trust to continue any of Banks’s creations.
BUT…for shits & giggles, could you assemble a team of authors to iterate through and create an Algabraist or Culture novel?
- Peter F Hamtilon for story arc
- Richard Morgan for cynical wit
- Neal Asher for snarky drones (but no politics)
- Susanna Clarke for the prose
- Ken MacLeod for the socialism
- ??? for some absurdity?
- ??? for the humanity..
I’ve not thought to deeply about this so any alternatives/fill in the blanks?
Edit: Haha! All the downvotes! We’re a protective lot (I include myself)! 😅
