![]() I have the 1989 edition paperback which has to my mind the most eye catching of all the covers. Is thus the second in the Culture series and I first read it in the year it was released. The full list counts ten titles: Consider Phlebas, 1987 The Player of Games,1988 Use of Weapons, 1990 The State of the Art, 1991 Excession, 1996 Inversions, 1998 Look to Windward,2000 Matter,2008 Surface Detail, 2010 The Hydrogen Sonata, 2012. And though he never set put to write a Trilogy or a series, the universe he created was so popular he returned to it again and again. This is a Culture book, for those of you who may not be familiar with Iain M Banks, a Science Fiction author, he created a great civilisation called The Culture. It is true I have read and re-read Lord of the Rings, but the book I have read every year, and sometimes if feels like it is permanently on my bedside table is this one. ![]() Famously Christopher Lee liked to reread Lord of the Rings. ![]() The book most frequently quoted as being the one which is reread every year is the Lord of the Rings. Readers of SF&F nearly always have one book they reread every year. My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Science Fiction book I read every year. ![]()
