Banter and Chit-Chat! / Wot I'm Reading - The Book Thread
« on: June 23, 2014, 01:38:14 PM »
Currently, I'm reading one of my favorite novels again - this being Frank Herbert's "Dune".
I first became aware of this when I was 6 - the film came out that year, and the look of it fascinated me, so I sought the book out. Half of it made little sense, but I slugged through it - and loved the imagry. I've read this book probably 20 or more times in my life, and I often like to revisit it because it's so inspiring to me. It's just an amazing intersection of science-fiction, philosophy, language and religion. It's a masterpiece and influenced countless other science fiction and fantasy authors. (It's clear that this book influenced George Lucas quite a bit when writing Star Wars!)
