I got drunk one night and bought all of them in paperback from Amazon. ALL of them. Think I’ve read 12 or so and the rest are just in a box. Don’t drink and shop folks, I still haven’t even opened any of the omnibuses

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.

Yeah, that part is exceptionally nasty and serves very little point in the story.

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.
