All I've read of Banks is Transition, which was pretty good. I'd definitely like to get into more of his stuff.

I really liked Excession. The Minds are basically deus ex machina in most of the books, a sometimes lot of the tension is deflated because they're nigh-omnipotent and invulnerable. Humans usually bumble about and the Minds let them make their own mistakes and then step in when things get ugly. Excession is about a civil war among the Minds so the stakes are really high, for once.
