Feel free to recommend a book you'd like me to read and (possibly) make a video about 😄🙏📖

Hyperion Cycle helped me to deal with my mother's death a decade ago, and last years my older brother. Dan Simmons made possible to conciliate Christianity and SyFy/Spacefaring, something deemed as impossible. Blessed be all Sapient Species who live in all Seas of Stars in all Universes.

The Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy by Tad Williams is absolutely incredible. As well as Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, if you’re into novel concepts, excellent character arcs, and complex world-building.

Hyperion cantos is amazing, there could be a whole movie made from each characters life story. The wordl building is amazing

Read Hyperion and the fall of Hyperion, starting Endymion. Great books!

Reading HYPERION was one of the happy moments of my life. Thanks Dan

If you liked the Priest's tale the most (as I did), I would recommend checking out Perdido Street Station. It's quite weird, but it's the only thing I've read that comes close to the imagination and beauty and emotional reactions of Hyperion.

Can't wait to read! Awsome video man

Excellent video!!! I would be very interested in hearing your take on "The Fall of Hyperion"...

I really enjoyed reading the 4 hyperion books (in Dutch) can"t remember exactly when I read them, 20 or 15 years ago still one of my favorite sci-fi also I did very much like Otherland by Tad Williams and Foundation by Asimov

I'm sold! I'm gonna read it now. Thanks Dylan! I highly recommend Canticle for Lebowitz! It's so good and it is especially relevant for the times we live in today. Now you have to do something about the Suneater series by Christopher Rucchio. 😄

I don’t know if you’d be interested, but the author Shelby Foote has some great reads. Especially on the American Civil War. Great video, will keep this book in mind. Peace ✌🏻

Finished this on Friday evening. Loved it.

I read Hyperion when it first came out and then the audiobook more recently, such an entertaining book, I wish it'd be turned into an anime or movie... I think there were a number of elements that came together in just the right amounts it was unfortunate that I didn't get the same feeling from the sequel Endymion, where the technical explanations of the Killer Shrike and reverse time flow didn't seem as compelling as when it was still a mystery

i just finished the Fall of Hyperion today so i am on that youtube hyperion content binge because now i no longer can be spoiled (at least about the first 2 books) great video, this book is indeed amazing and more people should read it. i really wish for an amazing live action tv series adaptation. i want to see this story come alive on the screen. now that i think about it - it was probably my first serious sci fi read (not counting a couple of short stories i've read as a teenager), so it makes me curious about other great sci fi literature works

got back into reading a couple of months ago. Putting this one on my list

Thanks for the insights, I'll move it up on my to be read list. If you're in the mood for something hard to categorize and mysterious I'd recommend Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. If instead you're looking for fantasy that has won the Hugo award you could try her Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell novel. And i guess I'll add that I just finished Beast by Paul Kingsnorth and have no idea what to say about it or what to do with myself 🙂

If you're just now getting into sci-fi and Fantasy, you HAVE to give "The Book of the New Sun" series by Gene Wolfe a try. Some truly mind bending stuff with deep catholic theming.

Well I'm sold.

Finished Rise of Endymion last month. An incredible journey I can't wait to take again. If you haven't read The Expanse series I highly recommend it. I'd also HIGHLY recommend The Dark Tower by Stephen King.

The world is wild, a legend, goofy, not man's word, history, a portfolio.

KWATZ!

The mainstream modern secular narrative is sensible, sophisticated, understandable. But nature is wild, not your plan, rational, kind, clearheaded; instead it is a land that has death and suffering and resistance to your goals and dream life, it is absurd, just crazy, a place where fishers ropes fall out of the clouds with hooks on the ends to catch on a farmers trousers and start pulling him up into the sky.

I got the book!

Alexander the great worked a whole lot on building a great empire. It all fell apart not too long after he died. We're the Riders on the Storm.

I listened to the first and second audiobooks before finishing this video, have since stared the 3rd book. I’d say I enjoyed the first the most followed closely by the second. The third is loosing me. Certainly draws a lot out of Catholicism but undoubtedly from an atheistic perspective. I’m sure the writer has some relationship to the Church but ultimately operates from a broken understanding of what being Catholic is like and how the Church operates. Makes me yearn for a good Catholic space novel

where did you find this art?

An eye is natural. So one eye is needed for nature. Two eyes on a face looks abnormal and weird. Two eyes? What is nature, a mirror?

This review is useless if you don't mention in CAPS that one should get the whole Hyperion Cantos (Hyperion + Fall of Hyperion) because the first book does not have an ending.

Being poor is serious. Be serious. 1 is a number. If it is wealth, just write 1 in your pocket and you'll be rich. He wants more of what is good. His personality is good. Now he got 2 personalities instead of 1, and is schizophrenic, trying to eat healthy and rebelling against himself and eating unhealthy. He takes numbers seriously. He doesn't take me seriously. So I'm not math to him, I'm a world that he believes can't exist. Am I correct math, always correct, always serious, never a fantasy, or am I incorrect math, a world in which smarts doesn't equal success? Add 5 days of work together and it equals 5 dollars? 1 thought plus 1 action equals no dollars sometimes, 1 dollar other times, loss of keys, subtraction, at another time.
