Excession is good , takes about half the book to get a handle on just wtf is going on though.
That sounds a wee bit like the last Banks novel I read - Whit - a good read though.
In Whit ...Banks uses as an outsider a member of a cult who grew up in a commune in Scotland where modern technology - phone, TV, computer - is banned, making her seem completely out of touch with modern British society and giving her an outlook sceptical of the assumptions we tend to live by unquestioninglyComment

I've just finished Neal Stephenson's Anathem. A huge book but will need to read it again as I lost the plot 2/3 of the way through.
Currently reading Kitty Kelly's biography of Sinatra....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
