Yes, Dan Simmons is my all time favourite. I've read almost all his works.
Hyperion is classic. Olympus is pleasant read. The Terror is extremely facinating. I havn't finished Drood yet.
Dan Simmons is a very mature writer. He never turns out rabbish as other big names often do. I admire him very much.

After reading Drood and the Hannibal Lechter Trilogy, I went back and listened to some Dean Koontz books on tape... my god, the man's characters, literary situations and environments have the complexity of an episode of the A-Team.
