Iâm also a massive Frederick back man fan. Love that you incorporated movies too.
That was a lot of freaking out! I enjoyed the Dune movies, they make some choices that reduce the psychedelic and spiritual elements of the books and focus more on the environmental and political aspects which kinda makes sense in today's world. I enjoy the books would however recommend to only reading the ones that were written by Frank Herbert, the stuff his son has been publishing is very different and far worse. It is totally fine to not finish a book written by Ayn Rand, it shows a good sense of self-preservation. Hope your reading and watching goes well and applaud the idea of including more other media in your content. I'm wary of recommending books as my tastes are rather weird all over the place but some books that stood out for me so far this year were "A Fine And Private Place" by Peter S. Beagle as well as his new one "I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons", Navola by Paolo Bacigalupi which is technically epic fantasy but feels more like a historical novel set in renaissance Florence and the Terra Ignota series by Ada Palmer which is science-fiction with far too many references to renaissance and enlightenment philosophy for any sane person and the fact I picked up on most of them says a lot of troubling things about me. Books that are coming out later this year and that I have high hopes for are Blackheart Man by Nalo Hopkinson, a caribean fantasy that I expect to be just as good as all of Hopkinson's books and Six Lives by Lavie Tidhar, a collection of connected crime stories that cover the last 200 years. There's probably more but I have a Decameron to get back to...
Thanks for the tip about the Dune books, I actually didnât know that his son was writing.
Also thank you for the recommendations, the titles you mentioned all sound interesting!!
@@lileyslittleibrary The Brian Herbert issue is that he's "writing" together with sf author Kevin J. Anderson who is a hardcore Ayn Rand libertarian which gives the books they write together an ideological slant that is very different from Frank Herbert's vision. I'll hold back on my personal politics here but the reframing of an entire fictional universe is highly problematic and leads to all kinds of inconsistencies in the books.
