Plenty of Culture books to recommend, what's your favorite?

Player of Games is good! I started with Consider Phlebas which I quite enjoyed but Use of Weapons stuck out to me when I was first reading them!

spoilerI may have had to read it twice to keep the intersecting plots straight but that's my own ADHD more than anything

A lot of Culture books hit better on the second read

Consider Phlebas is skippable tbqh but it definitely exists
