Banks has been on my to-read list for some time. I just started reading Consider Phlebas last week :)

My favorite is The Bridge, which is actually one of his 'Iain Banks' books (meaning that its not generally classified as science fiction, but walks the line). The Culture book I recommend to people as a good gauge for if you'll like Banks is Use of Weapons.

Consider Phlebas is somewhere in the middle of the stack for me, but it's still pretty awesome :-)

that it's shipping early may be useless...

...but I hadn't realized that the book existed at all.

Thanks!
