A pinch of book summaries, a dash of recipe reviews, and some talk about the weather, with a side of chicken.

State of the Art by Iain M. Banks
I forgot to review April's SciFi book selection which I suppose demonstrates how underwhelmed I was with this book. I think it was mostly because I just wasn't in the mood for short stories. I'm a novel person and often find shorts dissatisfying.
As described from Goodreads.com:
The State of the Art is the first collection from the author of The Algebraist and Use of Weapons. It features two stories set in his "Culture" universe plus six other stories and an essay.
Contents:
Road of Skulls
A Gift From the Culture
Odd Attachment
Descendant
Cleaning Up
Piece
The State of the Art
Scratch
A Few Notes on the Culture
