having read them a Long Time Ago at an Impressionable Age they were pompous and self-righteous to a terrifying degree and populated entirely by thinly-disguised stereotypes.

the Night's Dawn trilogy by Peter F Hamilton is a great rip-roaring page-turning hi-technology space-operatic gory swashbuckling lusty enjoyable read. If you like that sort of thing. And two of the books in the trilogy weigh more thatn my head...AND it's not in Douglas Adams W I D E S P A C I N G, so you get more bang for your buck. It's not as funy, but it quite gripping.
Yes.
