Halfway through Hardcastle. It's been good so far.
Just learned that Cunningham is Helena's bastard son, born through Carver and used to blackmail her husband.
Picked this up today to read next. I wish the line about it being a motion picture wasn't at the bottom.
Currently in the middle of The Culture's Excession. The world of the Culture is still as fascinating as usual, but the flow of the story is often interrupted by the number of plotlines the novel has.
I'd still put it above The State of the Art myself.I just finished this one myself. It's my least favorite of the Culture books so far, but that still puts it above a lot of other SF books.
