@joel @amin @jp i mean Dune was published in 1965. Do we really need spoiler alerts? 😝

@Jennifer @joel @jp

I think given its recent surge in popularity they are of renewed usefulness.

@amin @Jennifer @joel No no that's a good point. I've had almost 60 years to read it. Not being alive for more than half of that is just an excuse.

@jp @amin @joel I am reading it now for the first time but I know generally what happens!

@jp @Jennifer @joel

I read it for the third time as the first text of my AP Lit class, which was really awesome of my teacher. Then the class went together to see the Dune Part 1 when it came out a couple months later.

@jp @Jennifer @joel

I think I've probably read it five times total?

I should really give the sequels a chance some time.

@amin @jp @Jennifer what's the point of 5000 limit if you'll do 3 posts instead of one :blobcatderpy:

@joel yay, your review is ready! Thanks for sharing this. I really enjoyed that book. I made the mistake of watching the 1984 movie of Dune the same day I finished the book and I got blood curdling angry....it did not live up to the book at all. The current movies definitely do.

@joel Nice article. You mention wanting to try Neuromancer again. I've read it or tried to read it three times now, and I still can't bring myself to like it or care about it. I have friends who are great fans. If you can't make it work for you, you aren't alone.
