Classic 4 of 40: Dune

Dune by Frank Herbert

Why Dune? 
I don't want to be in a classics rut where I just read literary masterpieces. This was a classics can be fun, kind of read! And I have never read science fiction. I like science fiction movies, so it seemed about time!!













Thoughts on the book: 
It was delightful, page-turning, thoughtful, and a worthwhile read! I was taken in immediately by the scenes and imagination of this novel. Soon thereafter I was completely pullled into the universe of Dune. Arrakis. The Arakeen people. The main characters were plentiful and complex. The story was both relatable and other worldly.

I understand how this book has stood the test of time.


Recommended for:  Those who want to sink into a novel with rivalries, revenge, mysteries, and politics. This book has, and likes to point out that it has, plots within plots within plots. But it builds so well, I never felt left behind by the author. And hope you will enjoy it!

If you enjoyed Lord of the Rings, this similarly has journeys full of adventure, a deep cast of characters, and a brilliantly created universe.

Plus, I now understand some nerd jokes! Bonus.

I completely understand this meme! Ha. The power of reading classics.
