BooksWe love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

I think you may have nailed what it is that gets in the way of my liking the Culture stuff. There's no real danger or surprise to it. Moorcock dealt with the same ideas in the Dancers At The End of Time books, but I think he managed to show it as actually quite an empty, soulless existence, and anyway, threw in some modern humans as relief.
