I can't understand 1/15th of the words in this book and I'm only five pages into Chapter One.

Why is the spaceship being referred to as a tree?

should i read the hyperion sequels or is this one of the "they cheapen the original" situations?

Just read Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion. Thought they were decent. Enjoyed some of the Pilgrim's stories more than others. Sometimes the writing was a little corny, like Simmons was writing a screenplay of a B movie. And the plot got a little confusing towards the end. But he kept my interest. A lot of the themes (ie human overreliance on tech for connectivity) are still fresh.

First sci-fi I've read in a while, except for Wolfe's Fifth Head of Cerberus.

I work an oil job. At work, I read fun books (in this case, The Hyperion Cantos) that my buddy and I have chosen for our little reading club. Then, at home, I read the Greeks.

Fall isn't as good as Hyperion but worth reading, the Endymion books are trash and if you really want to know what happens just read Wikipedia.

Everything by Simmons is worth reading. Definitely don't miss Hyperion - it's fun.

What are some other books which deal with globalization?
Also are the other books worth reading?
