# Excession is my favourite book of all time ever...
and I fancied a bit of a change so I thought I'd pay some small tribute.

# I must admit, Against A Dark Background is my fave,
Closely followed by Use of Weapons. They're all good, though.

# I did like Excession
the problem was that was the first Culture novel I read, it threw me in the deep end a bit!

# Nah I think it's pretty accessible...
Once you get over the fact that 90% of the key protagonists are AIs ;)

# I know I'm a bit late but
Use of Weapons is the best, followed by Player of Games, followed by Excession.
