(no subject)
I started re-reading some Banks stuff I've last time read in my teens (now Against a Dark Background), and damn! lot of ideas I've thought were my own, greet me on the pages. Somehow smugly smirking too, even if I don't know how's that possible for a paragraph in a book. How disappointing... if I re-read all the books I've ever read, will I discover I have absolutely no original ideas of my own?
