The Fall of Hyperion, by Dan Simmons

Finally finished this book! Every time I'd attempt to read it at night, it would put me to sleep. I was really disappointed that it wasn't focused more on the pilgrims and instead spent waaaay too much time on the datasphere, politics, poetry and religious non-sense. There were a couple of good reveals, most loose ends were tied up.. but there was no need for a lot of the fluff that was added.

Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup, by John Carreyrou

Started this last night and so far it's really great. It keeps giving me flashbacks of what it was like working at a start-up with a clueless and demanding CEO.

Finished: For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway

Still working through The Fall of Hyperion, by Dan Simmons

Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons

I'm going to have to read Hyperion and Fall again, I missed a lot by waiting too long in between the two.

Finished The Girl in the Spider's Web, by David Lagercrantz - Meh. Don't bother.

Started & Finished Buying Illegal Bugs with Bitcoin, by George Billions - Fun, short read. Worth checking out.

Starting The Fall of Hyperion, by Dan Simmons - I enjoyed the first book, except for the poet. I'm hoping the poet dies early on in the second part.

The Fall of Hyperion, by Dan Simmons in hard copy. Life on the Mississippi, by Mark Twain on the phone. Continuing the Hyperion saga - am watching Altered Carbon at the same time on Netflix and there are a lot of parallels. Mark Twain is... well Mark Twain. You know what you're going to get and it's always pretty good.

Tales of Pain and Wonder, by Caitlin R. Kiernan

I've been meaning to read Kiernan for a while, and found of copy of this book that was rather pricey, as it's out of print, but worth it so far.

The Fall of Hyperion, by Dan Simmons

The second in the Hyperion Cantos. It's pretty amazing how eclectic Simmons's writing style is. A Winter Haunting and Summer of Night (Seasons of Horror series) are written nothing like the Hyperion Cantos. SoH is like a King series, where the Cantos is like an Asimov space opera.

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, by Yuval Noah Harari

1/4 of the way through, been loving this book. Every page has some mind blowing theory or fact. And relays the history of humankind to some of the struggles we suffer through today.

The Fall of Hyperion, by Dan Simmons (audiobook format)

Really enjoyed this sequel — I had finished Hyperion (in book format) last month and loved it, but was told that Fall was a vastly different book. I actually found it to be just as entertaining and enthralling — but a bit more confusing/cofounding. One of the things I did like about it is the moral/religious undertones that led to the culmination of the book.

I'm currently also reading Ilium by Dan Simmons and finding his Sci-Fi/Fantasy books to be amazing

Started The Murder on the Links, by Agatha Christie yesterday and I'm hoping to finish it today. Then, most likely, I am going to read The Fall of Hyperion, by Dan Simmons

Still trying to work my way though The Fall of Hyperion, by Dan Simmons. I can't read it at night before bed, it puts me to sleep almost instantly. :\

Oh man, I had slowed down there for a while, but knocked out some hard copy books and a couple audiobooks!

Finished: The Fall of Hyperion, by Dan Simmons, a continuation from the first book, Hyperion. This is a Sci-Fi book centered around a peculiar outback world in an interstellar human civilization. Simmons does a great job portraying his ideas of a future where humans are living alongside intelligent AI, along with a plethora of philosophical ideas on religion, ethics, poetry, etc. I definitely had a tough time following along at times and had to reread passages, but that does not mean the book is bad. If you're a fan of the poet John Keats, this is a book takes a huge influence from him (if the title wasn't a giveaway).

The Fall of Hyperion, by Dan Simmons

Finished this sequel. Nowhere near as good as Hyperion. It does have its moments, and generally I liked the way it wrapped up the stories. But it missed the character stories of the first book.

About to move on to

Out of the Dark, by Gregg Hurwitz

The 4th Nowhere Man novel. The other three read like comic books, so I’m quite looking forward to something simple and fun after I found Hyperion#2 a bit of a slog.
