I’m a newcomer to Iain M. Banks’ Culture novels, but boy are they giving me my money’s worth. Case in point: Excession. I wouldn’t recommend it as a first venture into the Culture, but if you’ve read a Culture novel before… You’re in for a brainride. Check out my review.

I don’t know what took me so long, but I finally got around to reading the classic Ender’s Game. It’s an amazing book, and I’m glad I finally read it. Please check out my review!
