The Culture is the only aspect shared by each novel, they are usually set on various different Orbitals, with different characters and different situation. They're all about interaction of people groups, and differnt philosophies. Really well written stuff.
There is one i wouldn't reccommend you reading until you've read a couple, and that's Inversions. Mostly because i t will confuse the hell out of you when you try to figure out how it belongs in his sci-fi stuff (he writes sci-fi under the nam Iain M Banks, and his other novels under Iain Banks). Start with Look to Windward or Player of Games.~~~~~~~~~~ I am the human race's worst nightmare.
The human race is my worst nightmare.
Guess who go the raw end of the deal.
Fuck.
