    I still haven't read all the Culture books although I've read most.

    What did you think of those? I've read Phlebas, Player of Games, Excession, and like the first third/half of Use of Weapons (had to return it to the library and was rather meh about the book anyway). Liked the other 3.

    I was surprised Excession didn't have the obligatory squick scene where the main character eats his own hand or something. Guess with a bunch of ships as the main characters that's a bit harder to do...

    Apart from his sci fi stuff Iain Banks's stuff sounds pretty horrible in an oh-god-i-wish-i-could-forget-i-read-that-wikipedia-article sort of way.
