thelittledogIain M. Banks' Look to Windward. I've had a difficult relationship with the Culture novels, not helped by the first one I picked up opening with a character drowning in shit. I thought Player of Games was pretty damn good, but haven't been champing at the bit to read more. For one thing, it's hard to accept the Culture as the good guys.
However, this was cheap and it was there and so what the heck. So far, unimpressed. There doesn't seem to be much driving the plot and there's a lot of description and world-buildy stuff that I just find boring. Presumably it'll pick up when the antagonist (whoever that is) and the protagonist (whoever THAT is) finally get to be at least on the same orbital. Maybe?
