Welcome to Litsy!

4.5⭐️

It astounds me how much Wyndham‘s writing can pull me into whatever world he‘s developed. His writing reminds me of La Guin‘s ability to create such a dynamic world in such a short amount of time. I think the conversation on intolerance and perfection was extremely poignant and still relevant 70 years later.

This is one of the legends novels that Disney discarded in favor of their new cannon. It tells the story of a young Han Solo trying to make his way to the navel academy and the adventures/chaos leading up. There are cults, damsels in distress, large hairy beasts, gun fights, and lots of dangerous flying; the usual for Han 🚀

What a great book. Well written women, a complex protagonist, and a world so engaging, foreign, and yet still relatable. The people of Arrakis are single minded in their goals. They render the dead for their water, and view tears for another as a sacrifice. Paul and Jessica are the ultimate mother/son duo of any book I‘ve read. @Kimberlone FINISH IT! #classicScifi

I‘m a bit more than halfway done with the audiobook. DAMN. It‘s good. My BF is mostly done with it and insisted I start. I am now worried that I will finish it before him or @Kimberlone which would be a tragedy.... who will I rant to?! This audio is good too; it‘s a full cast recoding type, some windy desert sounds included. I‘m all for it. #classicscifi #audiobooks

Somewhat dated but still a fun bit of escapism. Not sure if I‘ll read the later sequels though. 4/5 #scifi #classicscifi #femaleauthor

I enjoyed this and found the narrative style very interesting, but I think I‘ll need to read it again to truly appreciate it. 4/5 #scifi #mayreads #classicscifi

This book is so problematic even for #classicscifi. Maybe skip it if colonialist metaphors for humanity's future make you barf.

Kynes = favorite character. #dune #scifi #classicscifi

I've been listening to Neil Gaiman's View from the Cheap Seats and he talked about this book. Checked my library and it was available! #classicscifi
