Pill Reading Corner: Dan Simmons - The Hyperion Cycle

" Nothing smells as good as old books " - The Fall of Hyperion
I couldn't resist starting with this quote; it somewhat captures my experience with Dan Simmons's series. Even though I read it 20 years ago, it still ranks on the same shelf as Dune and The Lord of the Rings in my bookshelves.
Imagine a universe, a colonized universe, heading towards war. The only solution is to encounter the Shrike—the Lord of Pain, who has come from a place beyond time to announce the end of humanity. A task undertaken by: Priest, Soldier, Scholar, Poet, Detective, Captain, and Consul.
The book, which, in my opinion, was an inspiration for many subsequent authors and left a lasting mark on pop culture, without further ado, I recommend that you discover and experience this adventure for yourself.

Ahh, what an adventure it was! My friend convinced me to read this book. I struggled to read it from the very beginning, but by page 100 I couldn't put it down. It's definitely the best science fiction book I've ever read. The unconventional approach to the subject, the multitude of interwoven threads that come together to create a whole, truly a marvel.

What a wonderful novel, I already know the author from several books - I really liked The Terror, it's a masterpiece, I would give it a 10, but it's only a preview of the next volumes, the universe created by Simmons is amazing, the cooperation between AI and humans, the way of traveling in space... amazing, I haven't encountered such concepts since Dune, and in addition, it's an incredible journey into romantic literature (Keats), I'm enchanted and it's in my TOP 10, I recommend it

A wonderful sequel to Hyperion. Interesting plot twists and turns. The entire four-part Hyperion/Endymion series deserves to be read several times; it's something to revisit from time to time. With each subsequent reading, we understand more of the whole story and enjoy it more thoroughly.

The book of my life! A masterpiece! I also consider both parts to be simply the pinnacle of world literature. This isn't just perfect fantasy/sci-fi. There's also beauty and depth here. I believe this book will be relevant even 500 years from now, when we have self-aware AI-based androids and a colonized Mars or even beyond.

Jak urządzić sypialnię na poddaszu? Praktyczny poradnik aranżacji skosów
Sypialnia na poddaszu to wnętrze z charakterem. Skosy, belki i okna dachowe tworzą klimat, którego trudno szukać w zwykłym pokoju w bloku. To jednak również przestrzeń wymagająca: niska ściana kolankowa ogranicza ustawienie mebli, a źle dobrane kolory potrafią sprawić, że pomieszczenie wydaje się ciasne. Dobrze zaplanowana sypialnia ze skosami może za to stać się najprzytulniejszym miejscem w całym domu – pod warunkiem, że zaczniesz od łóżka, potem dobierzesz niskie meble, a na końcu zadbasz o światło i tekstylia.
