Wow

Reminiscent of ready player one, but i will give it a chance.

I watched the movie first, and other than the daughter and mother of G.H having swapped roles, it is strikingly identical. I am hoping that we tie up loose ends that were left in the movie. I enjoy the author’s writing style and so far I am enjoying the book.

Really enjoying this in audiobook format. It has been such a riveting story. I started earlier on a car ride and usually reserve audiobooks for the car only. I couldn’t help myself with this one and have listened to it at home tonight as well.

Very interesting developments

This series is going to be amazing. I am so excited to see what happens next!

I think we’re getting to the juicy part

I think I’m onto something here… I think I know what’s going on between the worms and the spice 🤔

It is ironic to read Dune in a bathtub

It’s getting very good

So good! I love how the author explains many scientific aspects of fungi as different topics are explored. I especially appreciated the explanation of how truffles have evolved and why they are so tasty.

I… I am utterly baffled.

The Baron has to be one of the most despicable characters I have ever encountered. Gluttonous. Selfish. Power hungry. Pervert. Just absolutely heinous.

The duke is so cool. He seems very intimidating but caring. And he values human life over profits. That, or he realized he could lose an entire fleet and what they mined, or just lose what they mined and save workers. But I like to think it is the former.

I have had many thought provoking moments so far where I feel myself in the place of someone from Caladan experiencing Arrakis for the first time, as someone who also comes from a very wet and water-rich part of Earth. Realizing that something as simple as ornamental plants (palms, greenhouse etc.) could be such a luxurious commodity, even putting human lives at risk, in an environment with very little water.

This is how far I got when I went to field camp and was too tired to read at night. I’m into it now

Amazing

Had to hold back tears earlier. I love the relationship between Ryland and Rocky so much.
