Recently I finished Asimov’s Foundation universe and now I want to try something from other authors. Two series I’m most interested in are Dune and Hyperion but I’m not sure which one to read first. Any recommendations?

Edit: I decided to go with Hyperion first and after that I will read Dune. Thank you all for commenting.

    Hard disagree but appreciate the differing opinion! Hyperion was one of the few books I’ve stopped reading. But I love the entire Dune series. God Emperor is my favorite.

      I don’t want to take away anything harmless that people enjoy. You enjoy it and thats enough. Me personally it was by far the worst sci-fi novel I have ever read, and that includes that Heinlein novel the Name of the Beast. Which he deliberately designed to be awful as a teaching tool.

      The only thing I enjoy about Dune is the jokes me and buddies have made about it over the years. A friend of mine is in IT and we would torment him with IT in the Dune universe basically being the guy who has to “service” the Mentant and clean the tank of the Navigator.
