Consider Phlebas is being adapted into a TV series.

I hope it's a faithful adaptation, because I can't think of anything that will induce rage in a greater range of people than The Culture.

Hello TETians!

Just thought I could mention the fact that this is my 5th week without a cigarette. Trying cold turkey after a rather strong bout of influenza, and so far it seems to be working. I don't miss the taste and the smell of the cigarettes, but I do miss the gestures, though.

Excellent, well done. You will miss the gestures, the way smoking keeps you busy. You won't miss the way the smoke makes your clothes smell, the way it makes your home smell, any of that. And you won't have to check, "Can I go to such and such a place and still be able to smoke?"
