I know you lot are an erudite bunch so I thought I'd ask for your help.....
I've nearly finished reading Dead Air by Iain Banks.
It's really good, and it's reminded me of how much I enjoy his stuff.
Any Banks fans out there?
I really really liked The Quarry, Transition & The Wasp Factory.
Have also read The Business and The Crow Road which I didn't think were as good as those others.
Any suggestions for which one should I read next?

Love Iain Banks!
I'd recommend Espedair Street if you haven't read it, about an ageing rocker, loved that one.
His Iain M Banks books I love too, but they're very different, sci-fi stuff. Give Feersum Enjinn )sp?) a go and see if you get on with them, there are loads of them.
He also wrote a book about whisky that I loved just before he died. He really nailed life old Iain - he'd spend 11 months of the year doing whatever he wanted, then hunker down for one month a year in winter and knock out his next book. Lived the dream. |  | | |

I'm a massive Iain M Banks fan, although it's been some years since I read the Culture novels. He died so young, we all lost out on a lot of great writing when he went. Also a man of fairly sound politics and a nose for a good scotch apparently. |  |

Fabulous writer, great that there's enthusiasts on here. Try 'The Bridge'., My second favourite after Wasp Factory. |  | | |
