You know what it is about this question that I don’t like? Obviously you don’t because why would you? Unless you’re a telepath or something which would make sense. And would be kind of cool. Are you? What I don’t like about this question is that it assumes the person answering it is not only a literary scholar or expert, but has the authority to decide and determine what we should and shouldn’t read, and why. I don’t care if it’s Janet Maslin or Roger Ebert, everything boils down to taste and personal preference (which might be the same things, I don’t know), and not to sound self-important, but I want to make those decisions myself.

So what does this all mean? It means that while I like reading a synopsis of a book or a movie, I don’t want to read reviews or look at ratings of a book or a movie.

Having said all that I’ll answer the question because a book just popped into my mind. I’m guessing someone out there is a telepath and put the thought there although I’m not sure how that would work because I haven’t published this blog yet. But then would that matter because the telepath would know what I’m typing here before I publish it, right?

The book: Dune by Frank Herbert
Why: I thought it was boring and I didn’t like Paul

*A Critique of #FrankHerbert's #Dune Saga*

You've raised important points about context, and you're right that the #BeneGesserit are morally compromised manipulators whose #Eugenic project deserves scrutiny. Your reminder that #Paul and the Bene Gesserit aren't simple heroes is genuinely valuable— #Herbert absolutely subverts the "chosen one" trope.

However, I'd gently push back on a few specifics. Paul isn't presented as a #Hitler admirer; rather, 👉his...

I enjoy listening to #audiobooks when commuting and running.
I recently finished re-reading/listening to #JackCarr #TheTerminallist and since #TrueBeliever isn't available on #Audible in my region, I started re-reading/listening to #Dune by #FrankHerbert

It is truly a masterpiece!

What are your thoughts?

My favorite books to know me by:

Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert A. Heinlein

Dune - Frank Herbert

All of the robot books from Isaac Asimov (in chronological order - including Foundation series)

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Philip K. Dick

Perry Rhodan (series)

Tom Swift Jr. (series)

(1/3)

It's one of my two favorite sagas. 😀
However, if I remember it correctly, #Asimov's #Psychohistory was about predicting the evolution/behavior of a large number of people, not individuals.

Ever since #FrankHerbert's #Dune, who was blowing into the same horn, I think that, in fact, there are individual people whose actions can have on society.

For instance, take the #Republican chief economist #JamesBuchanan. Wiki states that he was converted from...

Ormai la conoscete tutti Kim, no? È la nostra esperta su Dune e infatti oggi, dopo un'attenta visione del trailer, eccola a parlarci di Dune: Prophecy.

Analizzando il trailer ci spiega certi passaggi che sarebbero non molto chiari per coloro che non hanno fede nell'opera di Frank Herbert e per questo la ringraziamo.
