I know, but I really don't have much interest in reading those. I also highly doubt that either of those two books are as good as the original Hyperion; the episodic structure of that book was brilliant and not something I see too often (if ever) in science fiction.

Well, give them a try! I liked them better than the first 2. I know that doesn't mean you will too, but give Endymion 100 pages...see if I'm wrong. Most unknown books, or ones I'm skeptical of, I'll give them 100 pages, for some books are slow but steady, especially the books of the epic nature. The next 2 start a little faster than the previous 2, and also explain some things about certain characters that were left unanswered. |

So, has anyone here read any of Don DeLillo's novels? I've read Libra, White Noise and I got about 80% of the way through Underworld before getting bored with it. Apparently that is touted as his best work, so I might pick it up again and start reading it again from the beginning. Libra is my favorite of his so far though
