Recently picked up The Hydrogen Sonata and I'm having quite a bit of trouble getting started with it. Does it pick up?

...Is it your first Culture book?

Yes it is. Picked it up on vacation.

So I bought Hydrogen Sonata a few years ago and then realized it was the last book of what looks like a good series.

Am I good to start with book 1 (Consider the LobsterPhlebas) of the Culture novels or should I start somewhere else?

Cool thanks for the advice, I'll pick that up.

Also, please do, don't leave this for later or anything.

I love the Culture, I try to get people to read it all the time (when they're into sci-fi). I love it when someone gets into it.

Just wanted to pull this post out from a few months back because I finished reading The Player of Games and loved it - I just finished ordering the 8 culture novels I don't already have (used, total of $48 including shipping, stoked). Thanks for the recommendation.
