>>P.S. The Category list of the Books forum should have an item Culture (IMHO). Because I could not find any other category which fits this particular book.

Culture is ten novels and one novella. Don't know if we'd find enough people here who'd have something about it, though. Maybe someone standing on a glass shore?
Curiously, in French, one of the very frequent definitions (and uses) of the word culture is knowledge and/or erudition.
"The creative process is nothing but a series of crises." Isaac Bashevis Singer
"My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all." Oscar Wilde
"If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too." W.Somerset Maugham
