Has anyone read Dune? I'm struggling through it and want to know if it gets better.

I love Dune, but I think it's best appreciated by folks who are already obsessive readers. Prior exposure to an array of religious and philosophical works definitely helps in understanding the random quotes throughout the text. The author isn't big on explaining all the terms he drops into the story, he assumes the reader will fill in the gaps with their imagination. My buddy had issues when he read Dune, it's just written in a way that is opposite of how he learns. Some authors explain all the details, while others expect the audience to figure out things themselves. Dune is written by the second type of author.

I would recommend the most recent film adaptations, whether or not you finish the novel. I thought they were both excellent, and I think the director makes most of the story more understandable if the book is not clicking. It's still a lot to absorb, but seeing the actors play roles that are not well-explained in text definitely helps with understanding what is actually going on. The original film from the 1970s can be confusing even if you've read all the books 5 times, so the 2-part modern movies are the best bet.

cried over this book smh... can relate so much...
"Have you thought about it?” His head lifts, and firelight gleams in his eyes. His amber irises crackle. “Yes. I would like you…to love yourself.” My flesh goes cold at the mere notion. “I want to perceive insufferable hubris that assumes it’s natural for me to weather the storms with you,... read more

Tigana Book Review!
Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay is certainly one of the more difficult fantasy stories I’ve tackled in recent months. Inspired by Medieval Italian history, Tigana in essence is a story about cultural revenge. Illustrating how a conquered people would react to foreign occupation and cultural destruction,... read more

I have gradually found my rhythm again, when it comes to my joy for reading. It once was an enjoyable pass time for myself, especially during hard times. I've been wanting to read more genres, away from the ones that I'm more drawn to but the thought is slightly intimidating! Haha, what types of... read more

“Books: The Timeless Treasure”
A book is more than just paper and ink It’s a doorway to a thousand lives, A silent teacher, a patient friend. It holds centuries of wisdom in a few hundred pages, And gives you the power to see the world through new eyes. Invest time in books not just to escape life, But to understand it more... read more
