ADDED a review for Iain M. Banks's Player of Games. Although the beginning of the book was pretty slow (as I mentioned in some of my earlier posts), it ended up being absolutely amazing. Highly recommended. I think I'm going to try to brave another non-English science-fiction book next: Stanislaw Lem's famous Solaris. It should be a short book, but, then again, Roadside Picnic was also short. I also think that I might try reading Patrick O'Brian's famed Aubrey-Maturin series, starting with Master and Commander.
