Adding to my collection...

I enjoyed Z&MM. Although I have reservations about the ultimate conclkusion I thought it was well done, interesting to read and thought-provoking.

For these enjoying Banks, the recent work of Alistair Reynolds is very definitely worth checking out. Books Are: Revelation Space, Chasm City, Redemption Ark, a book of short stories called Turqoise Days and Diamond Dogs, which I have not read, and a fourth in the loosely connected series, title presently unkown which I have also not read yet.
