"I am going to read book one and then take a break so I can read Lincoln in the Bardo. I like Dune a lot, but I just want to read something else. It is like being in the desert, and it's amazing but you want a change of scenery. The scene I just read was where they see a sandworm and save some spice harvest workers, but lose a spice harvester craft. It is no surprise that Paul is a prophet, as it's foreshadowed a lot."

"Since this is a short story collection, I'm reading this between other books. The last story was about a Russian space station that was shutting down. The guy who was the first man on Mars was so distorted from being in space with no gravity that his bones were small and brittle. He was going to go down with the ship but then some other space squatters took over and were going to keep it going." Jul 27, 2026 07:47PM

Elie Wiesel
“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.”
Elie Wiesel

William Shakespeare
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

Frank Herbert
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

Oscar Wilde
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan

Frank Zappa
“So many books, so little time.”
Frank Zappa
