The best part about being there was watching Mr Banks laughing about
rumours that he was tired of writing Culture novels. He made it very
clear that he was a big fan of Culture novels. He even felt the need
to explain why it will take some years for it to come out.

But there is his longest novel ever, and once he is on the planet they
are all the same.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

He also said that his agent was in negotiations to nail this all down.
He seems rather open to business side of things and with the Culture
books so popular I'm sure he will agree to write one.

What was best was Banks open statement that he is a Culture fan, that
he likes Culture fans and enjoys writing Culture novels. He even
laughed at the Internet rumour that he was going to stop writing
Culture books saying "a rumour on the Internet"

I guess we get used to having good things taken away when it turns out
the Banks is a nice guys who loves the Culture as much as his fans and
plans to write Culture novels in to old age its hard for us to accept
it.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

It's good to know he still enjoys writing. Some writers take long
career breaks because they lose interest.
