The Hyperion saga is very enjoyable. If you didn't read them already The Martian and Project Hail Mary by andy Weir are outstanding.
Hyperion is definitely on my todo list. I’ve heard so many good things from so many sources!
The Hyperion series is the best scifi I have ever read to be honest.. It has the adventure of something like Ringworld or maybe Ender's Game, politics like Foundation or Dune, philosophy like Childhood's End or The Left Hand Of Darkness. The first book is structured like The Canterbury Tales too.. Like a loosely connected group of short stories instead of the modern style 600 page slog.. It makes it really easy to get in and out of.
I honestly can't imagine anyone not liking that book. There are so many layers it's super easy to find something to love.
It is amazing. One of the coolest, most ambitious, wackiest series I have read.
