* never read any Banks (somewhat put off by the politics if I'm honest, although Consider Phlebas is one of the 150+ books on my to-read shelves) * liked Alastair Reynolds (although I think he writes better shorts and novellas than full length novels, on the basis of what I've read so far) * quite liked the first Honor Harrington novel by Weber (enough that I listened to it as an audiobook and have the second on one of my shelves) * read all of Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy and loved the ideas and world-building but hated the length * read the first of Hamilton's thankfully shorter nearish-future Greg Mandel detective novels (and again have the second sitting on one of my shelves) * loved Leviathan Wakes and loved again Caliban's War. (The third novel is sitting on a to-read shelf, although I notice that there is a novella that actually comes next, so strict chronologicalist that I am, I may have to read that first.) I'm also wondering when we're going to get the TV series.
