“A little more than ten years after his death, we are experiencing a timely, double-pronged Banks bump. His 13 sci-fi books as Iain M Banks are being reissued this month with eye-catching new cover art […] Even more exciting: the recent publication of behind-the-curtain coffee table tome The Culture: The Drawings, collating his earliest conceptual designs for what would become his signature sci-fi creation.”

I mean, if anyone wants to join me on this epic crusade of intergalactic scale ... I literally just started!

Is Consider Phlebas on your bookshelf? Is now a good time to re-read?

@nske @kel @flockofnazguls I love Excession. Probably my fave of the series. It's like "fetch" to me.

My Book backlog is getting empty. Only 6 to go and 3 of them are trivia. I would love to have more readings in:

  • business
  • engineering
  • agile work
  • psychology
  • open source
  • science fiction

For further reference. I am a fan of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Gene Kim, Marianne Belotti, Teresa Torres, Jim Kwik and Sergej Lukuanenko.

Please feel free to recommend titles, authors, courses and other material.

Thank you, a lot, in advance.
