Iain Banks is dying. And don't be surprised if that page takes a long time to load, it's kinda getting hammered. Banks' own website is down under the traffic right now.
His diagnosis is extremely similar to what happened with my step-father. Jaundice determined, testing leading to a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. He lasted 6 - 7 weeks.
God. That completely sucks. Thankfully for Mr. Banks he's in a position to live his remaining time to the fullest.
