Weirdest sex scene ever

"When they sang together, you could feel grammar in the air."

Wake up babe, new brain-tingling Amal El-Mohtar quote just dropped.

Sometimes you read prose so good your train of thought becomes elegant.

Witches are cool.

Kara got introduced in the best way possible and the artwork is so perfect for a pulpy space sci-fi book. I'm hooked. They better not screw up their director search for this one the way they did for The Brave and the Bold.

Let's gooooooooo

Intrigued by the gayness, bored by the descriptions.

"The fame of Cicero flourishes at present; but that of Aristotle is utterly decayed. La Bruyere passes the seas, and still maintains his reputation: But the glory of Malebranche is confined to his own nation, and to his own age. And Addison, perhaps, will be read with pleasure, when Locke shall be entirely forgotten."

ok hume

(bad predictions aren't the worst thing here, racism is)

Yes, make the reader feel disgusted about characters for speaking casually about and being open to incest. Ugh.

Frank is throwing continental philosophy in my face and I can't even

But I must say, the plot just got interesting. Hayt is a curious variable.

Not grabbing me yet.

Okay maybe not *as* relevant to my thesis as I'd hoped, but still, interesting! Head hurting!

My brain is tired but at least I got validation in the form of my advisor wanting to write to the author about a concern I raised. Feeling very smug about that.

Just started Messiah, and in only two pages I'm already so excited. This looks like it could be even better than Dune, and I don't say that lightly.

For the sake of record keeping, here are my updates from when I was reading from a different copy:

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ONCE THIS IS DONE

Aila Alia!

So I guess we're "tilling" women as "land" now smh.

Okay it seems we were dead wrong about where the first film would end.

I registered maybe 10% of what was going on in this chapter, processed 10% of that, comprehended 10% of that. It is, of course, my favourite chapter so far. Whatever I end up rating Dune at the end, 5 stars for this alone.

End of Book 2. Cannot fucking wait for Book 3 and the movie aaaaaaaaa

Zendaya calling Timothee "my strength" >>> (yes that's what I call them in my head)

Kinda worried about the book's politics but Maitreyi seems more optimistic so I want to give it the benefit of the doubt too.

I've said this before but I don't like Harkonnen chapters.

I'm really starting to fall for this book. That cliffhanger was a hoooooly fuuuuuuck moment, made all the better by the fact that we saw it coming.

Here we goooo

Okay this HAS to be where the movie ends.

Meechee!

Kynes <3

Halfway through, and yet definitely haven't reached the point where the movie will end. I wonder if Denis is compressing the initial parts, it would make sense because they were BORING.

I hate every Harkonnen chapter, he's the worst written villain I've ever had to endure.
