Iain M. Banks Culture novels.

My complaint is a little more specific than most. I hate books wherein all the characters we meet are in touch with themselves and the world around them. Most authors have that gift themselves, the gift of being in tune with things that the majority of the world is not. That is one reason why they are story tellers, but when every character in a book has that ability it is all I can do to keep myself from tossing the book into the fire. A person in tune with life is one in a hundred, maybe on in a thousand or more, but you won't find five, ten, twenty of them coming together in the same community. That drives me mental.
