    Dune. I have read it 6 times.

    The first time was rough. When I was 15.

    The 6th time was still difficult.

    But it fucking does something to my mind every single time

      I’ve read first 6 Dune books when I was a teenager. It had a profound effect on me. I am reading it again, just finished book 4. I think I understand the phylosophical and religious references a bit better, but it’s still a very difficult book series.

        Yeah I gotta do my 4th read through og Children, God Emperor, Chapterhouse, and Heretics now. Dune and Dune Messiah weren’t any easier, but dang are they enlightening when you get through it.

        Paul’s throne room. Gosh. I hope Villeneuve gets it right in Dune: Part 3.
