I like those quotes posted by Onion because they can go both ways.
Finished Armor. Started on Hyperion (again). Its one of my favoritist books ever. Seven unique stories, told beautifully through different styles of narrative.
One of the stories reminded my of the last few days I had with my grandpa. As a woman ages backwards, she forgets everything that happened in her life the day after. Thus she remembers being 34 and six days, but not thirty four and seven days. My grandfather was the opposite, but still there was enough similarities there to make me feel a little sad. It touches on many topics: war, love, despair, and even religion. Its a good book for those looking to stretch the imagination. Feels more like fantasy than scifi, but its set in a scifi world.
Its good like the first Matrix is good. The rest of the Hyperion novels are only average. None are as deep as the first book or as compelling.
