I would like to be able to say over the last 6 months, I saved the world from a group of criminals who tried to hold the world to ransom,
that I went on a crusade with some new friends to destroy a magical piece of jewelry that had the power to tear apart the world, and that I have made contact with an alien lifeform, but in reality, I've achieved none of those things and have no news to tell :D

how strange, I only just started "Surface Detail" this morning on the train :D
It seems like an age since I've read a Culture novel... Algebraist was good, though

Feersum Endjinn is a top read, if you haven't visited that one yet
I seem to have a variant of that on autocomplete so I must keep banging on about it somewhat

I found the phonetical spelling throughout REALLY annoying.... Can't remember much else from the book
Player of Games was my favourite.... Oh, and Excession for the GSV dialogue

Inversions is damn fine, too :)
It never seems to get a look in, everyone always raves about Player and Weapons and neglects that one.

I can recommend anything by Banks, including Raw Spirit.
