Re: The Hyperion Cantos
I finally got hold of the Hyperion omnibus from the library. I have mixed - but mostly positive - feelings about it so far, but it caused me to remember a book called The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. It's an interesting take on faith, the universe and evolution from with a hard SF slant. And it doesn't weigh as much as Hyperion.

Nothing really to do with Hyperion, but I thought it was worth a mention.
