Recently I finished Asimov's Foundation universe and now I want to try something from other authors. Two series I'm most interested in are Dune and Hyperion but I'm not sure which one to read first. Any recommendations?

Edit: I decided to go with Hyperion first and after that I will read Dune. Thank you all for commenting.

Hyperion, then Dune. Hyperion is really awesome but its gonna pale in comparison to Dune, IMO

    I agree with this. They are two entirely different kinds of books, but anything pales in comparison to the Dune series.

    Dune is different. There is nothing else like it. Maybe the closest I've found to it is the Book of the New Sun series but I have to take those even slower than I did Dune because they are DENSE
