"Book lovers never go to bed alone"

Consider Phlebas - Iain M. Banks

I have not read sci-fi for a long time and only picked up this because I love Banks' general fiction. I found it a little hard to get into but he has an easy flow to his writing and it was well worth the effort by the end. I am looking forward to trying another 'culture' novel.
