Chapterhouse: Dune | Frank Herbert
post image
Pickpick

Chapterhouse dune feels very different but still like a proper Dune book. I felt like nothing was happening and at the same time as if I was bombarded by concepts, ideas and quotes. There is a lot to like and a lot feels unnecessary or disjointed. Overall I still enjoyed it a lot. Check out our discussion about on on ep.68 of the Mind Duck Books podcast: https://bit.ly/44hLdX6

Part Adams, part Monty Python, & an all around ridiculously absurd fun space adventure.

Book 2 for #AwesomeApril

wanderinglynn @emz711 I found it at a used bookstore yesterday. It‘s written my Monty Python‘s Terry Jones based on an idea & video game by Douglas Adams. 1d

First stop on #IndependentBookstoreDay : Capitol Hill Books in Eastern Market.

I love used books. I could have spent the whole day here just browsing. But the day is short & I have a list of bookshops to get to! Next stop, just down the street, East City Bookshop!

ImperfectCJ I'm going to be in DC in July (great time for walking the city 🙄), and I'm watching your posts for ideas of which bookstores to visit while I'm there! 2d
wanderinglynn @ImperfectCJ yes, such a great time to walk the city 🥵🤣🤣🤣 But there are sooo many great bookstores! 2d
ImperfectCJ @wanderinglynn This will be my first time visiting with my kids since they became adult-sized, so I'm excited to explore some things that aren't the zoo and the National Cathedral School playground. :-) I used to go into the city from NoVA in high school, but that was a looong time ago and lots has changed. 2d
wanderinglynn @ImperfectCJ I hope you have an amazing trip. There‘s so much to see in DC. 2d

Can‘t believe I hadn‘t read this ever- certainly extended moments of brilliance and far more profound than I had expected. Be warned this is not like either movie- but more of a third very good option. The PKD fan within is sated.

OK! Two books down of the Three-Body Problem trilogy, with one to go. Really liked where this one went, sci fi to the max. Super interesting characters and story lines that I didn‘t see coming. Not sure these three books are the right read for a beach vacation though! The possible end of civilization is pretty heavy.

batsy Nice review! Definitely not beach reading 😆 3d
batsy I thought the droplet scene was fantastic 🤯 3d
Lesliereadsalot It was amazing! @batsy 3d

It‘s important to read the classics! A sci-fi must read, excited to dive into the series.

This third book in the Final Architecture series brings the trilogy to a satisfying close. Idris resists the plan to destroy the Architects, knowing they are compelled to obey their unseen masters. Meanwhile, a betrayal separates the crew of the Vulture God, and calls into question whether there can be a united front against the enemy. A fitting end to a brilliant and imaginative found family space opera. Loved it!
