I've read _The Player of Games_ (I know, big shocker there, right?) years and years ago. I remember it being good enough that I was interested in reading the other ones, but not so good that I was willing to go out of my way to order them from amazon.co.uk. Iain "M." Banks is on my list of Authors I Really Ought To Get Around To.
(I suspect that you should on no account read _The Wasp Factory_, by Iain "Not-M." Banks. Among other things, it contains the single most disturbing image I have ever encountered in a book.)
Thanks to both of you. That particular series was recommended by someone in a thread on the Daniel Keys Moran mailing list and the VT library seems to have a pretty good selection so I guess I'll pick it up at some point. Incidentally, jazzfish, they also have some of _The Book of the New Sun_ so I can un-stick myself on Gene Wolfe, which should be worthwhile.
