I love Dan Simmons, and just finished reading, "The Terror". When you finish The 4 Hyperion/Endymion books, go on to Ilium and Olympos (Ilium is the first). Excellent! The Terror is his latest and he takes a true event - the Franklin expedition, which was lost trying to find the northern passage - and he puts a scifi/mystic spin to it. I really enjoyed it.
When all else fails, change channels.

They are in my loft at the moment, I think I need to get them down and read them again.
i love the way dan writes and uses inspiration of old literature like Keats, Shakespear, and Homer, and references quotes and verses from poems and stuff.Spoiler:Disclaimer:
