Probably my favorite use of the word cr is in the novels by Dan Simmons, Hyperion and Hyperion Rising.
The best things said about it
So, some of the ones that come to mind, I think my favorite of all time is Hyperion. Hyperion. I think it's Dan Simmons. It's being made into a TV show right now.
They're right up there with Dude. That and Hyperion are probably the only works of science fiction that I would compare to Dude, but you must read them.
So, have you read a book called Hyperion? No, but I'm aware of it. Okay. Well, first of all, Jason, my gift to you, read it. It'll blow your mind. It's it's crazy.
When I was younger, one of the science fiction books that really impressed me was Dan Simmons' Hyperion, especially The Fall of Hyperion.
