Cultural Analysis
Taking the data from my poll and formatting it in a more useful manner:
Interesting that less people liked Excession than Player of Games of Use of Weapons, but that that liked it _really_ liked it. Matter is the least well regarded, and Surface Detail the most, although that last fact tells us very little, as only five people have read it.
