> Alastair Reynolds Love Reynolds, but unfortunately he is not half as a good writer as Banks. Then again, not many are. Reynolods books are full of cool idea

  Better than the other two I mentioned though. My big problem with Reynolds, I think, was that his characters are hard to distinguish. He seems to have a few stock personalities that he re-uses. The only one that really stood out for me as fully realized was Clavain. It's a bit worrying that we're recommending SF that's a quarter of a century old - my SF reading has really dropped off since Gardner Dozois died. I need to read something published in the last 6 months.
