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 is my pick. I've read both and I've gone back to dune time and time again but only read Hyperion the once. Just my personal preference. Both were amazing but for me dune had better reread value.

Hyperion, then Dune. Hyperion is really awesome but its gonna pale in comparison to Dune, IMO

Hyperion is more meaningful. Dune is more of an epic.
