I just finished book one of #TheCultureSeries, #ConsiderPhlebas by #IanMBanks and now I've started #ChildrenOfTime by #AdrianTchaikovsky.
I'm still evaluating Consider Phlebas. It's amazing world building & a rather intense plot, but it kinda lacks both philo & psycho depth IMHO. (The ending, though, is heart-rending to me.) But I do have book 2 coming and will continue the series.
Children of Time is starting out very interesting. Perhaps a bit more my taste. We'll see.

I'm sitting in my chair reading #ConsiderPhlebas and listening to #TangerineDream and my wife walks into the room and asks what the meditation music is for? and I say I'm reading my #SciFi book, you know, space music for my space book. She rolls her eyes, laughs, and leaves saying something about being married to... and I didn't catch the rest.
Listened to a lot of vintage #TangerineDream this evening while reading a bunch of #ConsiderPhlebas
