![[Vote] Book of the Month (August 2023)](https://i.imgur.com/SKGcCza.jpg){kind=link}
Hello /c/sciencefiction, it is that time of the month. Time to vote for the book of the month. The options are loosely collected from the most voted and discussed books in the “What are you Reading” thread for August.
At the end of the month the poll will be closed and the winner will be the book of the month for August 2023. Myself and hopefully some others will read this book over the following month and then near the end of the month a discussion post will be made to talk about it. Feel free to participate or not at your leisure.
Once the book is chosen it will be set to “Reading” status on the community BookWyrm account here. https://bookwyrm.social/user/ScienceFiction Feel free to follow this account with your own BookWyrm account so other members can find you. This can help people find book recommendations of like minded science fiction readers.

HYPERIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
I absolutely love Hyperion, but the second book is almost necessary for these stories to end properly. Fall of Hyperion is my favorite of the series (…that I’ve read so far).
This may be a hot take cause I know most people don’t like the latter 2 books but I’d argue you need to read them too to get the full picture. Also fuck em cause those books were awesome too.
