/lit/ - Literature

Just finished picrel. I now have only 2 more Culture books to go and I'll have read the whole series.
This one was really good. Not so mired in complexity and the political intrigue and Culture moralfagging was kept to a moderate level. I read Surface Detail before this and did not like it at all - it dragged on and on and the virtual hell simulations weren't enough to save it.
What are Banks best fiction books? I've read The Wasp Factory and The Bridge. Was thinking of grabbing The Algebraist next. Which one is your favorite and least favorite?
Best: Use of Weapons
Worst: Excession

Have you read any Culture books, by Iain Banks? Just finished picrel. I now have only 2 more Culture books to go and I'll have read the whole series. Which one is your favorite? Mine is Use of Weapons, least favorite Excession.
