> It was the day my grandmother exploded.
Probably Banks's most memorable opening line. Love Crow Road... Have you seen the tv adaptation? I keep meaning to watch it.
- sph 24d agoThank you for being the only one to include the opening line of a book to pique my interest. And piqued it is. I have enjoyed The Wasp Factory (haven't read his scifi yet), and this sounds as exciting. I should really give Consider Phlebas another go.
- shawn_w 23d agoPeople seem to bounce off Phlebas as a first go at (M) Banks. Player of Games is the usual recommendation for a first Culture book.
