>>	Anonymous Fri, Nov 17, 2023 17:57:52 No.22726867 >>22726639 I’d put poet above soldier, at least for the audiobook actor.

>>	Anonymous Fri, Nov 17, 2023 18:21:25 No.22726975 Should I have carried on after The Fall of Hyperion? It felt like a good place to end to me and I didn't really like the sound of a time skip.

>>	Anonymous Fri, Nov 17, 2023 18:36:26 No.22727029 >>22726975 Thats where I quit. The first two books were long enough and I was a bit done with the constant keats allusions.

>>	Anonymous Fri, Nov 17, 2023 18:52:26 No.22727072 >>22726639 i know /lit/ hates stories about writers by rule but the poet's story was great

>>	Anonymous Fri, Nov 17, 2023 18:53:42 No.22727073 >>22727072 I would say the consuls story was cool for the time dialation but the hawaii parable aspect was gay as all fuck

>>	Anonymous Fri, Nov 17, 2023 23:27:31 No.22728057 >>22726639 Shit take, here's the correct order: Scholar Priest Soldier Poet Consul Detective

>>	Anonymous Sat, Nov 18, 2023 00:29:45 No.22728324 >>22726396 You got suckered into reading a bunch of short stories the author couldn't sell to magazines. In the second volume, Simmons actually tries to tie them all together. And fails. Just drop it and move on.

>>	Anonymous Sat, Nov 18, 2023 00:30:54 No.22728327 >>22726396 The priest tale and downhill hard and fast from there.

>>	Anonymous Sat, Nov 18, 2023 00:53:59 No.22728445 >>22726396 One of the few sci-fi books I really like. Maybe it's not for dumb nerds like you, OP.

>>	Anonymous Sat, Nov 18, 2023 01:00:56 No.22728471 >>22728057 Scholars story is c tier. Is this about the israel palestine banker war?

>>	Anonymous Sat, Nov 18, 2023 01:02:31 No.22728477 >>22728324 I like the ai core in book 2. Also count of monte cristo, brothers karamazov, the hobbit, mushashi were all serials

>>	Anonymous Sat, Nov 18, 2023 01:06:19 No.22728504 >>22728477 Hyperion isn't a serial. And the AI stuff was a boilerplate cyberpunk trope.

>>	Anonymous Sat, Nov 18, 2023 01:07:14 No.22728509 >>22728504 Cyberpunk has a trope that ai discovers god is real and fears him?

>>	Anonymous Sat, Nov 18, 2023 01:41:15 No.22728687 >>22728509 No, that's a deus ex machina that any respectable cyberpunk author would avoid.

>>	Anonymous Sat, Nov 18, 2023 01:49:40 No.22728726 >>22728687 Based and atheist pilled

>>	Anonymous Sat, Nov 18, 2023 01:50:06 No.22728729 >>22727072 The poet's story was very clearly a Simmons selfinsert pretending he was quirky, unique and talented. Unfortunately, he wasn’t.
