Books by Iain M Banks

The Algebraist
I'm not a science fiction addict but this one captivated me. I loved the galaxy-wide scale and sheer imaginative power of it. However it's not the easiest read. Flashbacks sometimes confuse and the strange names of people, places and institutions are difficult to retain. (Old age?). In fact I read it twice to be sure I had got it straight! Perhaps that is some sort of recommendation?
