Sorry Jay!LMAO!!! Papaya! SHUSH, lol, now all the librarians are glaring at me!
I started reading, anybody else? So far I'm liking the characters, although I'm wondering how to pronounce "Shrike" Is it like "Hike"? I'm not liking that word in the book.

You're so not
I would guess it pronounces like 'hike', I would read it like that.

I got the book this afternoon and started reading.
So far Ive got part way through The priests story. Ill probably read till chapter 3 tonight.
Theres alot of referances to Keats in this book isnt there?
Also does anyone think that reading the cantebrey tales might help in a wierd sort of way?

I got to the part when they start telling their stories as well and thought exactly the same thing... That it might turn into a Sci-Fi Canterbury Tales or Tales of Decameron...

Yes, it pronounces like that. We checked it in the dictionary.I started reading, anybody else? So far I'm liking the characters, although I'm wondering how to pronounce "Shrike" Is it like "Hike"? I'm not liking that word in the book.
Shrike is IRL a small bird that has got a lovely habit of empaling its prey (bugs, little rodents) to sharp things such as sharp branches or barbed wire thorns when eating.
And yes, Hyperion is actually very commonly compared to "Canterbury tales".
That is also the reason why just reading Hyperion and not reading TFoH is well, doen't seem complete. Hyperion practically consists of the "tales", which's common denominator is relation to Hyperion. In TFoH there is the "plot"

If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.
You have just given me a reason to keep reading, Tal!
