I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven't seen the Apple show, but maybe I'll watch it in the future when I've finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

Surface Detail, and The State of the Art by Iain M Banks. Been on a Culture bend recently. Excession is next on my list

I read The Player of Games and it was good. I also read Consider Phleblas and while it was very different to Player Of Games I didn't think it was as bad as some people say.

Apparently Use of Weapons is also really good so I should go back to that series. The whole Culture thing is really interesting.

Do people dislike Consider Phlebas? The story is a bit more straightforward than the others, but it does a good job introducing the setting. And that train battle at the end
