		arethuza on April 3, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A Personal Statement from Iain Banks According to Ian Rankin: "Typical of Iain to propose marriage to his partner Adele with the words 'Will you do me the honour of becoming my widow?" Makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time, like so much of his work.
