Iain M Banks

[Draken]

Anyone read any of his sci-fi set in the Culture? Bold, magnificent, modern space opera...love it. For me "Use of Weapons" is best. Wonder if he might be running out of steam a little now though.

Also like the mainstream stuff he's written, apart from "Song of Stone", which was a chore to finish to be honest.

But still, a great writer not scared to go places with his books. Strictly for grown-ups, mind!
