Just finished The Algebraist on holiday - sipping a cocktail on the deck of the QM2 outside Cannes. Not one of Banks' best, methinks.
I couldnt get into Ilium. maybe I'll go back and give it another try.

Doc Smith (Galactic Patrol, cheesy sci-fi at its best) -Piers Anthony (His sci-fi and his cheesy pun-fest of Xanth) and finally ANYTHING by ISAAC ASIMOV the man was a genius. Melifluous
