pickI first read Dune in high school. I remember that I enjoyed the strong female characters, the world building, and the sand worms;however, I was bored with the political and religious elements. Reading it over 40 years later, I am struck by how relevant the political and religious elements are today. I plan to read at least the next two or three in the series.
pickBook 5 of the Dune series really horny, bonkers in parts but still very enjoyable and thought provoking. There is no way I can say anything meaningful about this books is a few sentences. Check out our discussion about it on the Mind Duck Books Podcast ep. 67: https://bit.ly/3JgDcs3

Not sure if posting bookish memes is a faux pas on Litsy, but this was too good not to share
pickThe best book of the dune series, there I said it. This has to be one of the weirdest pieces of media out there that somehow still manages to completely make sense. Join us on our podcast to discuss of the most infamously strange, thought-provoking, comedically hilarious, gory and overly sexual books I have ever read - Mind Duck Books Podcast ep. 66: https://bit.ly/3IZR4Xi

picknot as good as Dune but still a worthy follow up to one of great science fiction epics
pickThere‘s A LOT of hate for Herbert Jr‘s entries into the Duneiverse. Perhaps because he collaborates with someone whose penmanship is not even close to Dad‘s cerebral, intricate plotting. The two guys don‘t seem to be able to weave threads as confidently as Frank. However, I think they know this so don‘t try. They go down the pulp sci-fi route & In that respect, it‘s a rattling good read. If anyone deserves to squat in Herbert‘s worlds it‘s his son
Just finished re-reading Dune… Denis Villeneuve was sooo right to make Chani a secular Third Worldist 🤞
