    I thought Dune was good. I read it while I was in middle-school and thought it was engrossing. I also read a lot of Arthur C. Clarke back then, but I guess some people don’t like his style. I tried reading Godel, Escher, Bach as a young adult, and yeah, I maybe finished half.

      I read the first one a few times as a kid (I was really into scifi). Then I read the second one and it put me off checking out the rest of the series.

        I must be a weirdo because I ripped through all of Frank Herbert’s dune books then went on to read his other stuff like The Whipping Star, Dosadi Experiment, and White Plague.

        that guy writes shit that excites my neurons.
