Who the fuck is screaming “Read Dune” at my house. Show yourself, coward. I will never read Dune.
And my answer is Joe Abercrombie’s First Law series.
You will read Dune, it is inevitable. They all cave in the end.
A Song of Ice and Fire and this is a hill I will die on.
Unless the last two books are shit and ruin the whole thing but let's be honest, they'll never be finished.
i swear that old fucker spends a lot of time writing with one hand, but aside from that i do like the books
The book is good, I love dark souls and it’s cryptic lore and dune is kinda similar in that regard. It starts out by mentioning a lot of concepts, ideas and places that are unfamiliar but introduces you to them throughout the story. Highly reccomend it
Highly recommend the sci-fi miniseries over the movie imo. https://youtu.be/dZfX8FGlVMc
holy shit finally another comrade that has read goodnight pun pun. Fuck that shit was hardcore doomer
I looked it up, and recognized the author's art style from デッドデッドデーモンズデデデデデストラクション
The great Shai-Hulud, sandworm of Arrakis, may his passing cleanse the world
twig, by the same author in the same format, is better. much much better. much darker though.
Revolutionary Girl Utena, because it slipped one of the biggest gut punches of anything I've ever seen into a clip show. And the soundtrack fucking rocks.
By learning to accept and love Anthy as a person, and not as a princess, Utena becomes the vehicle for her escape. Alternatively, because Ikuhara was horny.
DIsco Elysium is my favourite work of fiction because that is what our party line demands.
Dune is pretty cool though by the time I got around to it I'd read works that had taken it and pushed the themes forward like Neverness. Love the Westwood RTS's too.
I read Dune and all of Herbert’s sequels. The cool thing about the sequels is that sometimes, things actually happen.
His son’s book, Dreamer of Dune, is okay, but let’s just say we really need a professional biography of Frank Herbert. The guy was very strange in countless ways.
Major shout out to the sci-fi miniseries.
Yea its amazing I got halfway thru the sequel and lost it in a move, I'm really enjoying the dispossessed
Hell yeah! The Dispossessed is a good read as well.
Dune was pretty cool! It was one of my first sci fi novels and i felt i didn't understand it so well back then i really should get into reading the rest of the series but i hear it has diminishing returns?
I Really like "stories of your life" by Ted Chiang and i got very disappointed with villenueve's adaptation.
I used to dig a lot of old cyberpunk when i was a kid. and one of my favorites was the short tale "The Gernsback Continuum" by William Gibson! Sort of relevant today; it will need to get updated for future capitalism to be portrayed as a future that never realized.
Blindsight by Peter watts is one of my favorite contemporary sci fi novels, and currently he seems to be my favorite sci fi doomer!
Recently i got into Octavia E. butler; Her "Xenogenesis" trilogy is awesome, and i look forward to keep reading down her bibliography.
Also this 2020 i got into horror podcasts, and i loved the "Magnum Archives." I tend to think i am difficult to scare and i wasn't expecting much out of drama podcasts, But this one really got under my skin. I think i picked a bunch of phobias along the way.

I am incredibly biased because I am obsessed with this series, but I've read the first three books about 5 times now, and I felt like I found out something new about them each time.
Yeah i've heard bad things about the prequels and decided to just stay away lol.
because is so damn good. The absolute wonder the first time I read through it, just so much awesome world building and cool reveals.
