Advantages: Another fresh view of Culture Disadvantages: Not the book for somone starting Culture series
Iain M Banks Inversions is another page-turner in the great Culture series.
A general description of Culture is that an Utopian, post-scarcity (limitless resources) alien society, lead/controlled by powerful Als. The view of Culture is that less-advanced societies would benefit from their influence, thus the series describes the interaction between Culture and other civilizations.
Inversions continues on that similar theme but in a complete different background, it's based on a planet similar to medieval England and packed full of complex, fallible characters. The two plotline follows Special Circumstances agents in their widely different missions.
Unfortunately I can't make an unbiased opinion on whether this a good book to start on Iain M Banks' Culture series. I would recommend to start the series with The Player of Games ...
Advantages: Relaxes and decompresses the spine and muscles Disadvantages: Takes up a lot of room

A couple of weeks ago, my parents and I, along with my children, decided we would go out for a bar meal. We've all been quite busy recently and it's been quite a while since we got together like this.
We decided to go to a place we knew pretty well, which was reliable and child friendly. Knowing it as it's former name, 'The Carrow House', and more recently 'The Border Gate' and part of the Brewers Fayre chain we headed off. Arriving, we where surprised to see it had been taken over again, and completely refurbished, now under the name '"TableTable'"
About TableTable
This isn't a chain I personally have ever come across before, indeed didn't realise it was actually part of the same company as Brewers Fayre.
