Still stuck in the future

Reading Hyperion was such an unexpected pleasure that I found myself more than happy (if such a state can possibly exist) to pick up and lug to work the next two books in the series. Endymion steps forward after the events of Hyperion and introduces a new group known as the Pax (the Catholic church). It’s hard to describe any of these books without becoming bogged down in jargon and mad, made up terms so I’ll barely bother. Suffice to say that it is more focussed than Hyperion and equally impressive in scope.

Having said that, I am looking forward to just picking up a book of short stories (probably either The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God or Tuesday Nights and Wednesday Mornings). I think I have that scheduled in for sometime in 2010…
