_Use of Weapons_ is definitely my favourite of his novels. The best place to start is probably _The Player of Games_. For what it's worth, I wasn't impressed with _Consider Phlebas_ and failed to finish it the second time round. The appendices are very good though. Another of my favourites is _The Bridge_, which hovers somewhere between sf and mainstream. He seems to me to be slowly becoming less good, so anything old is on average likely to be better than anything new, alas.
