I’ll have to look into those. I feel very uncultured concerning more recent stuff. Thanks for bringing this topic up.

Banks was the author of a remarkable range of books, most notably his Culture series.
Ehh, he is but a shadow of his great-Aunt Rosie. "Only a Factory Girl" is one of the most influential popular novels of Edwardian England.
