Same, but I bought the Culture novels. They were fine, except the ugly parts.

The Culture is fantastic. Except the ugly parts.

I've given up on Consider Phelbeas after the starving cannibals bit, which was completely unnecessary and gross as hell.

That part is an oft recommended chapter to skip, just go forward a dozen or so pages until the protagonist murders a drop ship AI that was happy to help him.
