I just inherited about 6 books by Banks, and I'll be starting them as
soon as I finish re-reading Variable Star. VS is credited to Spider
Robinson and Robert A. Heinlein. Robinson actually wrote it from
extensive but unfinished notes by Heinlein, and I have enjoyed this
book immensely.
Consider Phlebas first, right Charlie? 8^)
That was the first (and so far only) Banks book I have tried. I got
about half-way before I gave up.
