My brother loves his stuff. He wrote a few science fiction books, a few really gritty noir books, and has apparently written some other stuff.
My only problem with Simmons is that I never really like his sequels. Illium is awesome, and Hyperion is wonderful, but then I didn't like either Olympos or Fall of Hyperion. It just feels like his stories lose their tightness after the first book.
But other people really like all his stuff.
my Dan Simmons radar went off and I got here as fast as I could.
It's pretty interesting stuff, the way it all comes together
Other than the Hyperion books, I've read The Terror by Simmons. It was pretty damn fantastic. I've got Carrion Comfort queued up next and hopes are running high.
I've already read Bester, and I really like the whole 50s view of the future style novels.

I read the two Dirk Gentley books the past few days
God bless you, Douglas Adams
man, i am going to see about testing out of english tomorrow!
i'm pretty fucking stoked.
I accidentally read The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul before Dirk Gentley's Holistic Detective Agency and it didn't end up making a difference
He is one of my favorite PI's
for the course i'm trying to test out of it says i gotta solve a specific problem in literary analysis.
i've done far better on all my in-class essays than i have done on any of my take-home ones, so i suspect that this will play to my strengths better.

Oh, I've read it all right. It was real good! Imma head to the library in a titch, see if they have any Heinlein

That may be the best possible response that he could have given. Bravo sir.
If you have to read it in class you might stab your fellow classmates.

This is one of the 5 most recommended/loved teen books of that year. I mean people were raving about it like they were about The Hunger Games. Read it, its vision of the near future is mildly uncanny.
4th grade i believe
so someone still thinks it's pretty swell

Little Brother is great. I read it, despite being "too old," and loved it -- Cory Doctorow is my hero & he's doing the right thing. The book even teaches you internet security 101.
I'll argue Heinlein was good before he got old. I like him when he's talking about spaceships and rugged individualism.
I don't like him much when he talks about sex. It's icky, the way the whole early sixties was icky, the way Brigitte Bardot movies were icky -- the "sexual revolution" as a smorgasbord of creamy thighflesh, set to a Herb Alpert soundtrack. I say "Feh," but then again straight girls don't get much out of an assortment of delightfully available redheads, blondes, and brunettes.

also t Cilla, aside from one storyline that I did not like the direction it took, I think Olympos is a perfect followup to Ilium. Fall of Hyperion is kind of a different thing, Hyperion is so good on so many levels that it's pretty much impossible to really follow up on. I mean as far as resolution to the story goes, Fall of Hyperion works just fine in that regard (and I like the two Endymion books as well). But really nothing can match what Simmons achieves in Hyperion, it is a fucking masterpiece of narrative and writing and I say that with no hyperbole intended.
It's hard to explain if you have not read it, but yeah don't go into Fall of Hyperion expecting Hyperion redux, that's the key.
allegory might not be the word i want but i dont care man i am blazin with the white album bros
