@ada I read the #Dune series in my teens. I confess i found it a real slog; the rich dense lore was so overwhelming that i felt i was consistently wading thru literary molasses. I still have the same paperback set on my bookshelf now, but almost 50 years later, with fuzzy vision, shortened concentration span, & ever-declining cognition, the probability i'll re-read them now is zero. In the 80s, my 20s, a friend & i saw the original film. It was unambiguously one of the all-time worst films i've ever seen.
