I love that one of the characters in Iain Banks' "Transition" tries to find aliens by spotting airtight -looking vessels (ships, vans,..) during solar eclipses, for this exact reason.

That was, perhaps, the weirdest, Iain M. Banks book I've read.

Hell yes it was weird as hell! It was also the most conceptually mind boggling (with all the gender and sexual fluidity on top of everything else). I felt from style of writing and tone it was very personal and intimate, guess thats why I liked it so much.

The weirdest book to me was feersum endshin (sp?), but I mean, we're reading Banks "it was the day my Grandmother exploded", so....

Feersum Endjinn that took such a long time to read the phonetic bits. Loved it though. Subsequent reads were better.

Well then I should do that again. Once was all I could stomach to date.

Also thx for the correction of the title.
