I had fairly high expectations for a such a well-regarded sci-fi book. While I appreciated the potential of the world-building, I disliked pretty much all the characters and the plot. Also, why did most people have thematic or space-y names and the main characters were called Paul and Jessica? Paul gave off major "not like the other girls" vibes. None of his victories seemed earned. The religious context was incoherent. Not recommended.

I haven‘t read much fiction in a long, long time. I enjoyed the movies but wanted to get deeper into the lore, into the world building, so I picked up the first book in the Dune Chronicles. The cover art is beautiful.

Also I had a baby, so I haven‘t had much time to do really anything this year.

Chapterhouse dune feels very different but still like a proper Dune book. I felt like nothing was happening and at the same time as if I was bombarded by concepts, ideas and quotes. There is a lot to like and a lot feels unnecessary or disjointed. Overall I still enjoyed it a lot. Check out our discussion about on on ep.68 of the Mind Duck Books podcast: https://bit.ly/44hLdX6

I 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.

❤️ haven‘t read a ton of science fiction. This was wonderful.

Book 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
