Iain M Banks…

So sad, he didn’t get long to come to terms with his illness, although I guess that’s not a bad way to go. I loved this quote of his recently…

“And I just took it as bad luck, basically. It did strike me almost immediately, my atheist sort of thing kicked in and I thought ha, if I was a God-botherer, I’d be thinking, why me God? What have I done to deserve this? And I thought at least I’m free of that, at least I can simply treat it as bad luck and get on with it.”
