The Player of Games is also good, of course. :) Oh, and also you should read Snow Crash, which has more ideas per page than most books do in their entirety.
Yep. I got introduced to the Culture by drnick (http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njl98r/) when I was at southampton. Read all the books he had in a weekend or so.
I have a very well-thumbed copy of Snow Crash. :) Not read anything by Stephenson since the Cryptonomicon though.
