Ian Bank's The Player of Games is a great book that kicks off a series well worth the read.

Thanks for the suggestion :)

I just don't get the reference/connection to my comment (no attack, just confused :D)

"Of Course I still Love You" is the name of the sentient spaceship in that novel, now a series. The other ship is 'Just Read the Instructions' which also comes from the same novel.
