I finally started the book I've been meaning to read for ages ranagrande Send a noteboard - 08/09/2011 06:01:31 PM
Dune, by Frank Herbert. I'm about a fourth of the way in, and it's great so far. I also think it's neat that I keep recognizing names. I'll be all like "Salusa Secondas! That was my homeworld!" or "Captain Nefud! I bought him on auction!" It makes things more fun.

I'm sure I'll read some other stuff this month too.

I can never decide what type of book I should be reading, so I just do all of them at once. Nate - 01/09/2011 10:52:29 PM 1033 Views

I would think that would be a thankless and tedious task Tom - 04/09/2011 09:53:45 PM 1184 Views
I should've known you'd react that way, after your Luxemberg readings. Legolas - 04/09/2011 11:22:30 PM 1091 Views
