I have everything by Iain (M) Banks on there
Plenty of Asimov, Dick and Vonnegut (and Heinlein as well, 'cause there would obviously be no 40K without Starship Troopers)...it's just that every now and again I want a straightforward story in which about 20 billion people are needlessly slaughtered on some distant planet.

Fair enough, I guess, so long as you've got some of the good stuff!
Seriously though, go and get Hyperion, and the 3 sequels to it... they're really fucking good.

Will do, I just got caught up on the Horus Heresy so I need something new to get to grips with
though I am going through all of Banks again chronologically so it'll probably be another one of his next

I really do recommend starting with the first book to avoid massive spoilers

Could I ask a question please?
Just how much Dick do you have on there?

Whatever was in the big torrent of Dick that I downloaded
All the Dick, I'd imagine
