As I'm going through...

Hi,

So I'm about halfway through Hyperion by Dan Simmons.

It's really good. Lots of people have read it already. I'm late to the party because...well, I missed out for some reason and then I read Illium and had to grab some more of his stuff.

So the thing about Illium is that it's really a Sci-Fi version of The Illiad.

And the thing about Hyperion is that it's really a Sci-Fi version of The Canterbury Tales.

Which I think is pretty neat.

It also means I'll have to do the Sci-Fi version of Huckleberry Finn soon or he'll gobble it up. (though frankly, I liked Tom Sawyer better)

Just chit-chatting...
Tom

p.s. Also? Dreams in which you're stabbing people are really odd. Mainly because people appear to be made out of wood and don't really stab so well. But the $15 coin was kinda fun.
