One of the things that everyone has in common, that cuts across all demographic lines, is a love of stories.

Everyone loves a good story, and has carried with them the ones that struck a chord with them. It could be a book or movie, song, poem, or even a tale heard from a family member, friend, or stranger.

The Wheel of Time is probably my favorite. I've reread it several times throughout the years, and each time I'm in a different place in my life. Each time I'm drawn to and resonate with different characters and plot arcs.

What's one of your favorite stories anon?

The people telling their stories in Dan Simmons' "Hyperion" is remarkably human to imagine and very touching considering how it is set in a super-technological future.

The story of the Martian Settlers in Kim Stanley Robinson's b"Red, Green and Blue Mars" is also very good for it's coherence across a long timespan.

Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky is a fantastic read, though admittedly more for its mysterious & fantastic elements than the character depth, but its highly recommended nevertheless.

That's just a few that came to mind today.

I very much enjoyed the Mars series, although it's been many years.

I've never read Simmons though, he's eluded me despite being on my 'authors I should get around to reading' list 😂

Hyperion and the Fall if Hyperion are strongly recommended.

The follow-up: Endymion & the Rise of Endymion, are also good, but in a different way and not if the same caliber IMO.

Thank you for the recommendation! When I wrap up the Stormlight Archives I'll check them out.
