    Hyperion is on my high priority list for 2024. This has really got me excited to fall into this world!

    Made me so happy when you held up that handful of mass markets! Perfect format for this groundbreaking series. 😁

      I likely would like to replace those eventually with hardcovers, just so they get a little less wear & tear from my rereads.

    I read all 4 of the Hyperion books several years ago and I really enjoyed them (but every book in my life falls behind Dune). Anything Dan Simmons writes is astonishing!

      I'm yet to run into a disappointing Simmons read!

    Good one David! Hyperion is a book I definitely need to read. Nice overview

      @DavidWiley7  7 місяців тому

      I normally don't want to push books as must-read for folks, but I would definitely concur that Hyperion would be a worthwhile experience.

    I love the idea of bookshelf essentials - and fully agree with Hyperion being being on this list (although I admit I've only read the first one!)

      You're in for a delightful adventure if you continue the series!

    I'm ashamed to admit it but I have not yet read this book! Definitely one that needs to go onto the short list. Good video David!

    Hyperion is an astonishing book! My wife read it for the first time in December and is deep into Fall of Hyperion now. Hope your year is starting well, David!

    Did Dan Simmons coin the term “cybrid”? Use the only place I’ve heard it.

      Looks like C.L. Bunn coined it in 1974!
