I read the first book in Hyperion, I don't really remember it gripping me and the fact that I didn't bother with the other books in the series suggests I didn't rate it that much.
Finally got round to finishing the Wool/Silo series. Quite enjoyed it, the early books were the best but the later ones were decent. I think I did miss a book out due to the stupid names (about 5 books called Wool, another 2 or 3 called something else, etc) which was a bit confusing.
For SF, William Gibson is well worth reading if you haven't already (and the Difference Engine with Bruce Sterling), Ernest Cline was entertaining, I really enjoyed the Deathstalker series by Simon R Green (although not at all hard SF if that's what you're looking for), Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan, Larry Niven and Ringworld if you're looking for hard SF.
