Iain M. Banks

Iain M. Banks is a serious writer. You can tell, because he has a serious website, serious book covers, and a serious, deliberate style that moves along at a snail’s pace. However, if you’re willing to commit yourself to a million-page-long story that develops really, really slowly, then Banks’s novels can be a tremendously rewarding experience.

Aftertaste:
Did we mention the pacing? Because it is slow.

Availability:
Everywhere.
