Book: Dan Simmons' "Hyperion"

I have seen this book in bookstores forever.  I have held it in my hand but never bought it.  Finally, thirty-five years after it was first published, I bought the ebook of Dan Simmons' "Hyperion".  I am very glad I did.

The book follows a group of people going to the planet of Hyperion for a pilgrimage.  As they approach the planet, they tell the stories of why they are going and what their connections to Hyperion is.  These stories are all unique and engaging.

I read this book entirely on the Camino de Santiago, and I couldn't wait to finish my walking and chores each day so I could dive back into it.

I gave this book five stars out of five on Goodreads.  I loved the characters, I loved the world, and I loved the storytelling.  It has been a while since a book engaged me so deeply.
