Woke up this morning to find out that one of my favourite writers, and creator of the best opening line in the history of literature (“It was the day my grandmother exploded”), Iain Banks has terminal cancer.

I haven’t read any of his SF stuff (but really want to) but his non-SF stuff is brilliant. Start with The Wasp Factory or The Crow Road and enjoy.
