Now Reading...

Hyperion by Dan Simmons. I've been readins so many histories and biographies that I had almost forgotten the simple pleasure I get from reading a well written sci-fi! I started this book on Saturday and I'm almost 2/3 of the way through it. This book has been recommended to me as a "must-read" by meany friends and I never got around to it, but I can see now why it was such a big deal. There are elements of The Canterbury Tales in that a group of pilgrims each recounts their story to the group as they move to their final destination. (Obviously I'm skipping out major plot lines here but hey you should read it.) One of the stories almost got me choked up.
