Raw Spirit: In Search of the Perfect Dram by Iain Banks

4.0

---

Banks is at his Douglas Adamsyest in this memoir disguised as a whisky book. Banks gives his musings and reminiscences on whisky, cars, politics, cars, writing, Scotland, Scottish roads, cars, driving on Scottish roads, distilleries, his friends, cars and being a writer. I found it quite difficult to read in a continuous stream, mostly because I'm not that into cars. That said, I did take a lot of notes on my Google map of Scotland.
