now reading because I had to put the last book on hold because I forgot the day of the next SF book club discussion and it is near. i probably last read this book 30 years ago and the character of Rachel and her sad story have stayed with me over the decades. i am back at that point in the novel now

cover to Hyperion by Dan Simmons. cover shows the monstrous spike and blades Shrike looking down on the sea of grass and a grass traveling sailing ship carrying the pilgrim group of characters to their doom.

At this point I might as well pull everything out of the garden and just plant wildflowers each year. The jerks of the animal world don't bother them
