No problem here in Canada, either. I haven't read a lot of his, but I
enjoyed
"Player of Games". His first Culture novel wasn't bad, but this was
better.
His non-sci-fi books are pretty good, but I'd imagine some on the list
would
take offence by a couple of them. *S* "The Crow Road" (essentially magic
realism) was made into a pretty good British mini-series.

Looks like it's time for me to peruse Amazon.uk again...
