Couldn't agree more about Iain Banks (as Iain M. Banks I can take or leave him; science fiction's not really my thing). Complicity and The Business are my favourites I think.

Just noticed that a new Iain (M) Banks book is available (Transition). I did notice though, that two different retailers listed it differently (one as Iain Banks, one as Iain M. Banks). Anybody know the true author?
