Jeff asked Marko Kloos:

I've been staying up late tonight reading Dan Simmon's Hyperion, and it is blowing my mind! What's the last book you read that was so good you were equal parts amazed, delighted, and jealous?

Marko Kloos Hyperion is very good--one of my favorite SF novels of all time. Colonel Fedmahn Kassad is one of my favorite SF soldier-badasses, and the historical battle sims were pure genius.

The last book that blew my mind like that was BLINDSIGHT by Peter Watts. It's a first contact hard SF novel, and Watts' aliens are TRULY alien, not just humans with forehead ridges.
