    I like how unpretentious he comes across. Sounds like he was real down to earth sort of man.

    What a MIND Iain was. Your writing has given me so much and will, doubtlessly, continue to do so for the rest of my earthly existence. I love you, man.

    I'm sure Iain's child like fascination with the world & his great sense of humour is much missed by his friends. Loved his books & the pragmatic way he greeted death.

    I had just discovered all of Iain Banks books and started reading them one by one. The very next month I learned of his death. it destroyed me.

      I met him briefly making this film. He was a very nice man. Thanks for your interest.

    I still miss him, his humour, and his fantastic writing of course.

    For us to have lost such a remarkable talent and lovely man at such a ridiculously early age is a tragedy. Thank you for posting this. RIP Mr. Banks. I hope you are having a smile somewhere.

    The legendary Iain M Banks. Sadly missed but never forgotten. A hole, so wide has been made in my reading, especially sci-fi since your passing. I hope to see you in "The Culture," whenever I go to the other side 👍🏾😎

      Thanks Hari. I think the video shows he was a nice guy to meet in person too, brief though it was.

      I've heard that he was a nice guy. I am having great difficulty reading science fiction since his passing. Nobody comes close, in my opinion, for intelligent sci-fi.

    Yep. I loved his work. Seems like he was a good bloke, too.

    • @Theandyhumphreys
      @Theandyhumphreys  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes he was. I only met him briefly but that was very clear. Thanks for your interest..

    A very silly and hence very serious man.

    • @Theandyhumphreys
      @Theandyhumphreys  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, he was a pleasure to meet. Thanks for your interest

    Why...?

    Hi brain sounds like it was a lot like mine... tho mine not so big, but definitely very dusty.
    So early... Such a shame.
    Peter Capaldi should be locked in a room with all of Banks books and an excellent microphone/system and forced to read them all as Audiobooks.
    Then he can be fed while Quality control is conducted.
    After which hopefully he will be allowed to leave again.
