Two of my favorite authors now... Three if you count that some people consider K.J. Parker to be a pseudonym of Iain (M) Banks.
My two favorites of his I think will always be Use of Weapons and Look to Windward. Coincidentally, I just started re-reading Excession last night.
- Suitov 14y agoKJ? A pseudonym of Iain? I reckon she'd be highly amused at that... "For example, I don't much enjoy reading Iain M. Banks, simply because his world-view and mine don't coincide much; but I’ve learned an enormous amount from his masterful use of structure and language." -- KJ Parker (http://www.orbitbooks.net/interview/k-j-parker/ http://www.orbitbooks.net/interview/k-j-parker/)
- IvyMike 14y agoI think it's unlikely, too. But Iain Banks criticizing and then praising his own work under a pseudonym is something he would think was very funny.
