I just wanted everyone to share in the awesome
1970s cover that I was experiencing.
I'm not sure if you know this, but Dune is a freakin' long novel. Seriously guys. I've been hardcore reading it for two weeks now and I'm still only about a little over halfway through it, which is INSANE.
But you know what? I'm probably going to continue to diligently read it and finish it up as soon as I can. I want to know what happens. I am really invested in these characters and their lives and what's going to happen to them.
Not to mention the world building in this novel is insane! This is Tolkien level of world building, complete with its own religions and legends and languages and solar systems. HERBERT CREATED A WHOLE NEW SOLAR SYSTEM FOR THIS FREAKIN' BOOK! It's really impressive.
So far, it's the book I've been most impressed with during our month of sci-fi, which I wasn't so sure was going to be the case. Dune is a classic that gets a lot of hype and, often, the books don't live up to that hype. So far, Dune completely does.
Meh. See the movie instead. Its got Sting in it. :)
