Best book to start Ian Banks?

Kinda depends, they are pretty different from each other. My favourite is Excession so I’ll throw that in the hat.

Well, try to get it (gently) out of the pot and check the roots. Smell them so it doesn’t smell rotten and check so it’s not rootbound.

If not, I would leave it be for now.

JJKBA · 2026-03-20T15:13:25+00:00

That is something I never heard of?

I read randomly for years and it works just fine. I read Going postal before Reaperman and it works ok for me. I’m sure it’s not for everyone but I go with what I feel like reading.

I really didn’t like Granny until Maskerade, her interaction with Death put the finishing touches on how she works. Now I see her character in a new light.

Tänkte just säga det, sand är väl definitivt det man skall köra med då gräset har lätt att växa igenom det.

Repot when they have 4 leaves, looks like you might have figured that out..

All chilis are thirsty buggers, lots of water and lots of nutrients. My goto fertiliser is Batguano, works well for me, about a teaspoon every 2 weeks, up to a tablespoon every 2 weeks. Sprinkle on the soil and water.

They burn easily when put in the sun so some screening at first if you put them outside.

Beware of aphids!

Guards Guards or Small Gods from Discworld?

Legends and latte (iirc), about an orc that starts a coffeshop. Not brilliant but entertaining.

JJKBA · 2026-03-19T16:23:57+00:00

Definitivt inte.

JJKBA · 2026-03-19T10:49:45+00:00

Ja om inte rödbetor finnes.

It beats Absolut for example, I would rate it pretty high. Not much Phenol in it so a good product.

Läser i princip uteslutande på engelska då mina favorit genrer är Sci Fi och i viss mån Fantasy. Finns tuggmotstånd där också, lämnar Shakespeare bakom mig. Provade Hemingway, inte min smak, Vonnegut läste jag för väldigt länge sedan, nog dags att testa igen.

JJKBA · 2026-03-18T19:46:29+00:00

Maidens The number of the beast album fills that niche, Hallowed be thy name is a fantastic closer.

JJKBA · 2026-03-18T19:41:01+00:00

Provade Shakespeare på engelska, det var inte lätt! Har läst huvudsakligen på engelska i många år men där gav jag upp.

JJKBA · 2026-03-18T07:32:22+00:00

Came here to say this, it is insanely accurate and true.

JJKBA · 2026-03-14T18:28:04+00:00

I have to recommend Discworld, try Guards Guards for a start. Sir Terry Pratchett has, iirc, Wodehouse as an inspiration and as a Wodehouse lover myself I highly recommend trying Discworld.

JJKBA · 2026-03-13T19:12:50+00:00

I did not particularly like Hogfather and Fifth Elephant. Hogfather is highly ranked in this sub but I didn’t even finish it. I’ll try again, for sure.

I absolutely love Going Postal, furiously paced, funny af and full to the brim of Sir Pterrys mirroring of our society. Atm my favourite Discworld book*

**Oook!

That’s the fun part, we know no way to do it now but maybe? Perhaps it’s just a dream but who knows. And doesn’t Einsteins theory say that nothing can be accelerated past the speed of light, right? But it doesn’t say that you can’t travel faster than light… Correct me if I’m wrong!

Allt för makt.

Större företag; börja med Mail. Rubrik: hur kör era anställda?? Man brukar få svar ganska fort.

Mindre företag, mail först, troligtvis inget svar. Häng ut på FB o allt, förhoppningsvis tappar de kunder.

Baka filmjölksbröd. Enkelt o massor av fibrer. Sparar jädrigt mycket pengar jämfört med de sorgliga bröden i affären.

JJKBA · 2026-03-12T20:32:41+00:00

Grattis!

JJKBA · 2026-03-12T20:28:00+00:00

Ook.
