Gobbled up Hyperion. It's a fucking banger, a stone cold sci fi classic. Works so well on every level, as a story and as a story about stories. I would recommend Chapter 4 - Sol Weintraub's chapter - to anyone - sci fi fan or not - as a self-contained short, and a masterclass in what you can achieve in genre fiction when you've got yourself a solid conceit to work with. I sobbed my way through the latter parts of that chapter.
Deliberating whether it's a good idea to read the sequel, or whether I just let this stand alone.
Onto Vurt now. Not sure where I'll go after that. Maybe some Ursula Le Guin.
