In reply to Ellen. I will write those down. I've only read The Crow Road. He's very celebrated/beloved here in Scotland.

Oh that’s always a hard question – picking your favorite! Two that I’ve reread are The Business and Surface Detail, so they’re probably up there in my list of favorite books by Banks. Have you read any of his others?

In reply to Jennifer Jensen. I'll put The Swan Thieves on my list! Yes, I don't know if I'll be able to bear the film of Gone Girl. It's sad to come to the end of a book and not like anyone any more. Like I said I think I missed a lot of underlying meaning in Magnus, but I'm so fascinated by Orkney (where it takes place). Hoping to visit at some point.

In reply to Ellen. The writing is brilliant but I did see a review that said it lacks redemptive moments. Yikes. Do you have a favourite of his?

I loved The Secret History and I kind of got tired (maybe just frustrated) with the characters in Gone Girl. I just finished The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova (sad but stirring). I have had Magnus downloaded for some time and have not gotten to it – thanks for the inspiration! I appreciate you sharing all of the links on so many of your posts. Your photographs and writing is such a treat for me to read each day.
