    Haven't read any of the Brian Herbert books. I've heard mixed reviews.
    Yeah, I've heard the first Brian book is half decent, but quickly goes to shit.

    Finished Dune. Loved it. Are the other books worth reading? I thought it ended perfectly and not entirely sure if I need more. If not I have the first book of The Expanse cued up next.

    When I was sick I decided to try to attempt to make it through Dune again. I tried once a few years ago and made it like 50 pages in or something before giving up.

    Thanks to rewatching Lynch's version and Denis's version I'm really enjoying this. Plus it helps to have a goddamn glossary at the end to look up terms that make no sense to me.

    Really enjoying this at the moment.
    i also hate audios.

    Dune is my favorite book.

    It depends on who’s reading it, whether or not I like the audio. I’ve listened to the Harry Potter series at LEAST a dozen times, but Jim Dale is fantastic. I listened to a couple of Jodi Picoult books years ago, but the dude reading them was fucking awful and boring as hell. So I can see where you’re coming from

    Grabbed the audible version of William Gibson's Alien 3 script with Lance and Michael reprising their roles. Figured it would get me through the plane ride tomorrow.

    Grabbed this based on this old ass recommendation last night. Digging it so far.

    Playing catchup now that I have a kindle and am sober. Turns out it's easier to read at night when you're not drunk as fuck or stoned as hell. I used to devour books back in the day, time to get that shit back up and running.

    Strangely, I have become my father.

    Reading a bunch of Harold Lamb historical and historical fiction (Khlit the Cossack is the fucking best) before jumping into Ambrose’s Crazy Horse and Custer and then onto Stalingrad.

    Never could get into NOS. Tried several times but it never grabbed my attention.

    Finished NOS4A2 and really fucking liked it. It was so weird but worked for me. Especially the ending.

    Can't wait for the AMC series as early reviews on the pilot are great.

    I'm still really fucking digging NOS4A2 but then again I also dug the work he did on Locke&Key and I do enjoy his pops' work as well.

    Definitely some creepy fucking imagery in this book.
