Just finished Ender's Shadow again. That book gets better and better every time I read it.

I'm reading Slam in English. Ugh, as if there aren't already a million different movies and books about kids getting out of the ghetto by getting onto a professional basketball team.
And A Midsummer Nights Dream. I like it a lot more than Romeo and Juliet.

^Yeaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Unless of course it's a shitty version of the show like I saw last weekend at the Junior College Theatre Festival. God damn horrible.

Well I finally finished Simmons 'The Fall of Hyperion' a couple of weeks ago. Overall, it was a good conclusion to the story brilliantly set up in Hyperion. On the down side, it still left far too many mysteries unraveled. For instance, the true nature of the Shrike or the Time Tombs is never revealed. Supposedly these questions are answered in Endymion and The Rise of Endymion but I have no intention of reading those any time soon.
Now I am onto another Simmons Scifi work Ilium which is a a retelling of the classic Iliad only set on Mars, with a whole techno-pantheon in addition to containing Shakespearian as well as Proustian literary shades (I am no classic literature specialist, but this is a good thing, so I have heard). Hopefully its a good read. After this 'series' (Of which Olympos is the second and final book) I think I will either move onto Zelazny's Lord of Light or abandon scifi altogether (for now at least) for something either more classic or contemporary.

I read Ilium. I was not impressed at all. I, like you, thought it would be excellent. |
