@enchanted Heh heh it is amusing, @Basman is giving it a red hot crack 

Doubling down into infinity - the spiral!

Hyperion is an interesting sci-fi novel. Better than Dune I would say.

Dune was a bit of a slog at times, very slow to start.

I'll check Hyeperion out - have you read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (Philip K Dick, Blade Runner was based on it)?

Trying to gauge your taste to find overlap

That's a short story. Have not read. I do not like the Bladerunner story at all. It's all about visual vibes.

Alestair Reynolds writes very good sci fi short stories.

I like the Valerian sci fi graphic books a lot. They are charming. 5th Element was based off them. I own the entire series.

Throwing me curveballs trying to gauge your taste >.<

The Valerian movie by Luc Besson was shit - but I'll check the graphic novels out also.

Love The Fifth Element - my favourite movie.

Leo, any recommendations for Science Fantasy? (Science Fiction + Fantasy)

I've become somewhat dissatisfied with Science Fiction and Fantasy as either choice is a binary between the best of both worlds. Really want a combo but can only think of Warhammer 40k

Yes, it was bad.

Not the true Valerian.
