Dan Simmons & Ernestine Gilbreth Carey

Today, the gang at Love All Books (okay, that gang's just me—Techsplorer) would like to celebrate the birth of authors Dan Simmons and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey.

Hugo-, Locus-, World Fantasy-, and Bram Stoker- Award winning author Dan Simmons has the honor of producing one of the most involving and thought provoking pieces of fiction I've read in, well, maybe ever (a description which here means: "Dan Simmons is the author of the the Hyperion Cantos: Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, and Rise of Endymion.")

Ernestine Gilbreth Carey is one of the twelve Gilbreth children that are the basis for the book she co-authored (with her brother): Cheaper by the Dozen.
