I have soon finshed all of The Expanse (which I have enjoyed immensely) and last month I finished Peter F Hilton’s Pandoras Star. While I enjoyed the second half of Pandoras Star, they (it’s a trilogy) are such heavy books with rather slow pace. One of my favorite reads last year was Recursion by Blake Crouch - it’s fast paced and just a plain joy to read. The same goes for The Martian and Project Hail Mary.

Given this, do you have any recommendations for what to read next?

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.
