I just started the Culture series. I'm about a quarter of the way into Consider Phlebas and so far, so good.

How does the rest of the saga compare?

Player of Games is good, it's easier since it keeps focus on one character save for the opening and closing chapters.

Surface Detail is really good, gives you a better feel for just how God like ships can be.

Excession was like reading a bbs board where everyone has the same gimmick. Helps you get cozy with the Outside Context Problem which is a repeating theme for nearly all the books.
