Iain Banks is nowhere near as good a writer as he thinks he is.

he wrote the Crow road didn't he? that was shite

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 28 May 2013, 23:43, Reply)

Yes, yes he did.
He plots well, but his characters are desperately unlikeable and the writing itself is smug. It's all deeply shallow- good on the surface but it doesn't really stand up too well when you open the bonnet.

I've only read a few short stories from his SF stuff so can't really comment, but I've read loads of his mainstream stuff. I went through a period of liking him when I was 17, read several of his books and realised that he isn't actually that good.

Innit.

I just choose to see the smug, aren't I clever student smartarse delivery as part of the act.
That way, it doesn't bother me.

whatever works for you eh
You might even be right but he's eminently punchable to me
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 28 May 2013, 23:29, Reply)

you just don't "get" it
note: this is a joke, it is a joke about how certain people would say that genuinely and all it can possibly do is make people want to punch the person saying it as well as stewart lee

Actually, neither can I.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Tue 28 May 2013, 23:48, Reply)

it is part of the act, i believe it because he said so in his book that he wrote
why would he lie?
( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Tue 28 May 2013, 23:31, Reply)

So he doesn't look like a smug, smartarse twat.
And, to make money selling his book to you.
