My favourite Sci fi novel is most definitely Excession by Iain M Banks.

The insights and 'colour' it gives to the Culture Minds is what makes it for me. I also find things like 'Outside Context Problems' intriguing.

The following is Banks' description of a OCP and gives a glimpse of why I love his writing style:

something most civilizations would encounter just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop."
