  If we were on a less civilised messaging board I would leave a comment noting the (non-)coincidence that your username is in fact remarkably appropriate for your comment.

    I think Banks might have been quite pleased with 'semi-extrinsic', actually.

        Subbed. One of my favourite fictive ship name would be an Adams one: GSV Mostly Harmless. Was great to see the replies, user names. :) Also the number of votes tells there's a large number of people who must really miss Banks (RIP). It's been a while so I will start re-reading the Culture series soon, chronologically this time. A number were lost paperbacks, but will just add them to my Kindle collection.

          If you hadn't yet, I recommend picking up his book of poetry that was posthumously released along side his longtime friend Ken MacLeod's poems. A lot of it is Banks to the core, including the humor. My favorite is cynically titled "Love Poem": Serene, In a world full of troubles. i.e. doing nothing about it.
