The 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

Well that was… weird. I enjoyed it though, more so than children of dune, and interested to see where the saga goes next.

Also, as it‘s about a man-worm, I‘m taking it as a theme read for #TeamMonsterMash as Leto II was per monstrous to me!

Plus knocked off a novel written in the decade I was born for #PromptMaze

Personally not my favorite Dune book. But was very grossed out in a good way by certain aspects

A bit of buddhist philosophy Herbert? I wonder...

“ He has learned that it is difficult to live in the present, pointless to live in the future and impossible to live in the past.”

Read 32 books in January, 3 were audio books and most of them were birthday and Christmas gifts. So I managed to reach my goals for January. Also learned a lot about #Brazli thanks to the #FoodAndLit challenge. Now it's time to visit #Vietnam 😁

Liz_M 😵 32 books! Amazing. 👏 Life goals. 4y
Butterfinger Will you be able to get Vietnamese snacks like you did for Brazil? Loved seeing your posts. 4y
Deblovestoread Great reading month! 4y

Jari-chan @Liz_M Thank you 😊 ❤ 4y
Jari-chan @Butterfinger I wanted to, but apparently all you can buy here in Switzerland is Fish Sauce... Deeper research also let me buy beer from Vietnam, but honestly, I don't like drinking beer... I'll try again in March, though 😊 4y
Jari-chan @Kdgordon88 Thank you 😊 ❤ 4y

I love the Dune books and this one is no exception, even though it took for me some pages to get into. But then it wouldn't let me go again. As you can see, I kept on marking pages and quotes 😅

The Spice Must Flow

First Hubbie gave me The God Emperor Of Dune with this spice produced by a famous potato chip producer.

Afterwards I got those exklusive spices, which were the real gift 😁

I love this man and his kind of humour 😁❤️

I don‘t DNF very often. I have a not uncommon compulsion to finish a book once I‘m a good enough way into it. But I read a good hundred pages of these three books and ultimately decided, I could stop. Not bad books, just not for me!

😒The Harkness book was too much of a romance for me.

😒The Dune books got too convoluted for me.

😒The Carter title was too slow and I am a moron at chess which was part of the plot.

Freespirit Plenty more to read😊 4y
Ruthiella @Freespirit For sure! 😀 4y
OriginalCyn620 I used to not DNF either but have learned it‘s okay. There are too many good ones out there to force yourself to read one that isn‘t working for you! 4y
Ruthiella @OriginalCyn620 I know it‘s a gradual process to get used to allowing my self to “give up “. 😀 4y

The place had filled Moneo with awe. Great bins of melange lay all around in a gigantic room cut from native rock and illuminated by glowglobes of an ancient design with arabesques of metal scrollwork upon them. The spice had glowed radiant blue in the dim silver light. And the smell—bitter #cinnamon, unmistakable. Their voices had echoed against the stone.

“One day all of this will be gone,” the Lord Leto had said.

This was quite the fourth book; a lot of mind thinking and what it means to rule or guide a peoples in the universe for what is yet to come.

Just finished this and went looking for a cover image (I usw a Kobo ereader, as there are no libraries where I live). I found all covers for this book are awful. I settled with this.
The book was ok. The God Emperor goes on a lot. I'm not sure I got all of what Frank Herbert was trying to say. Maybe the gist of things but I can't explain it to others. Would I recommend it? Only if you had a lot of patience and appreciate existential commentaries.

Hi! #litsynewbie here. Thought I'd start out with my books from 2017. From my Goodreads challenge apparently I read 21 books. Challenge is to do better in 2018.
