The first thing I found was that Hyperion ends abruptly. OK, so Geoffrey Chaucer died before he was able to complete it, so why was it required reading? After I realized that Hyperion followed the same framework, I Googled around to find (spoiler free) comments on the book. One of my many complaints of Canterbury tales was that the book was never actually finished. I really HATED Canterbury Tales when I was required to read it in High School. IMMEDIATELY a long forgotten and very disturbing memory came to surface my mind's eye. Here's my question, How many of you have actually read Canterbury Tales and have started or finished Hyperion? I know that the other post related to the similarities discusses that the OP found the similarities halfway through the book, however, I caught on the moment they all started talking about sharing their stories. Also, I wanted to introduce myself at the same time, even if there is a welcome post. However, I want to talk about the differences (or possible differences). Yes I realize there already is a post on the similarities between Canterbury and Hyperion. (which you can) and I just officially created a Good Reads account solely to join Sword and Laser! My Name is Nimrod God although apparently Good Reads wants you to call me Nimrod.
