Hyperion I read for a book club. It was pretty long. About six people on their way to visit Hyperion, and what's brought them there. Those stories are interesting. The actual frame story, less so.
Fangirl is one that's been on my unread pile for a while. About a girl leaving home for college and learning to interact with the world outside of her favourite fictitious universe. Has some excellent dialoague.
The Last Vampire: Eternal Dawn is a new book in the series, written several years after it ended. It retcons the ending of the sixth book (justified in-story) and carries on with it.
Finally, Fat Chance is about a couple who are overweight. They enter a weight-loss competition sponsored by their local radio. It's pretty sensible about obesity and being overweight, and manages to avoid a lot of the obvious fallacies. It's pretty funny too.
Yeah, this one is half-assed. I've been busy.
