Neal Stephenson's 'Anathem'

Left Hand of Darkness, and The Dispossessed are my favourites.

Left Hand of Darkness, and The Dispossessed are my favourites.

I discovered these books (and the author) entirely by accident - at an airport, back in 2009 - I think it was Matter. Was hooked, and then read the entire series

all his Culture books are fantastic

I really loved Roger Zelazny's Lord Of Light

and Valis (a bit more conventional to have on the favourite list)

I'll single out 'Excession' since you seek titles.

Whether that throws everything in the book into question is an interesting question, but if the whole book was 'complete bullshit' then I'd expect a more comprehensive debunking than that blog post.

I think it was Matter. Was hooked

I read it just after reading his 2016 novel 'The Vital Question - Energy, Evolution, and the Origins of Complex Life'.

I'm reading (well, listening to) Simon Winder's Germania - the first of a trilogy covering the history of most of western Europe.
