Recently I finished Asimov's Foundation universe and now I want to try something from other authors. Two series I'm most interested in are Dune and Hyperion but I'm not sure which one to read first. Any recommendations?

Edit: I decided to go with Hyperion first and after that I will read Dune. Thank you all for commenting.

Dune over Hyperion all day. But you should really read A Deepness in the Sky. Everyone should.

Vinge's other one, "A Fire Upon the Deep", is also a fun thought experiment.

Any and all (including his short stories) Vinge's works are well worth a read. He's up there with David Brin IMHO. Do yourself a favour and read his Uplift series.
