Smooth sailing today

So smooth that there isn't much ado to write. I've been reading Endymion (Hyperion Cantos, Book 3) by Dan Simmons. I do most of my reading on the elliptical at the gym or during my lunch break with a cup of coffee. Read the two previous Hyperion stories (Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion) and enjoyed the those stories a little while ago. Was wondering how the third one would read after how the second book concluded and have to say I like it quite a bit. Mostly new characters taken place 274 years from where the last book left off. If you are a space opera fan then you've probably read at least the first one but if you are not but would like to check out such a story you may enjoy the ride. I expect to finish Endymion by the weekend.
