ME: I will intentionally read Iain M. Banks' non-Culture novels because I want to see him when he is at his more experimental and risk-taking.

@mcc and I naively thought that Graydon Saunders' writing was a bit of a thorny bush to get through...

@mcc This is some extremely Riddley Walker bullshit.

[bonzoesc@m.bonzoesc.net]

@mcc always imagined bascule talking like the orcs in Warcraft 2

[fuzzychef@m6n.io]

@mcc Yeah. Maybe try The Bridge instead?

[dpiponi@mathstodon.xyz]

@mcc I love that book! (But then I love everything Iain M Banks and most of the Iain Banks.) Try not to look too weird as you mumble the words out loud in an attempt to decipher the phonetics.

[johns_priv@mastodon.social]

@mcc Sorry, wot?

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@Johns_priv that seems to be the question of the hour

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@aaryte ohhh I for some reason guessed that one was "want"

[Guest]

@mcc ahaha, his non-scifi stuff is extremely uhhh

[oisin@mastodon.ie]

@mcc oo that one took me a while to get into with that lingo, I had to read it out loud a bit to get it into my brain

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@Tak I liked "Transition"
