As a guy whose been reading Dune for the past 3 years, I promise you I am THIS CLOSE to getting past the first sentence.
I've been reading it since 2018, so...
No spoliers, I'm only on word 3
Actually I wouldn't recommend reading the book first. The films are really faithful and good at translating the tone so the only major diff is that in the book you get everyone's inner monologes and then when you watch the film you feel that they're missing.
@@anonymousfox7219 the films are also fAr less philosophical, which I personally do not like.
Lol
I mean, you *could* accurately summarize the whole series as, "Something something Duncan Idaho."
throw *gholas* in there and it's perfect.
@@JahlisMan Don't remember those.
Idaho alone does the job.
@@anon_lulz7334 a countless number of Idaho gholas, you mean. and whatever the hell happens in Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune, which I refuse to read.
@@JahlisManAre you talking about Duncan Idaho, the ultimate kwisatz haderach?
Something something worms something something spice something something Duncan something something Space Dominatrixes
I think that summarizes the first six books pretty well

I can't wait to see Paul truly become Moo Wah Deep and the Queen Sat Hat Rack ( listened to the audiobook, that's what he's called.)
It took me WAY too long to realize you were talking about Muad'Dib
@@RushWheeler The little desert mouse? .... I swear I've finished it and have understood all these references.
I hope Duke Leto is in the next book too.
LOL almost....Muad'dib....Kwisatz Haderach
@@kurlykrenins Nah the other guy is right, that's how it's said.
Moo Wah Deep 🤣🤣🤣
As a person who finished the book before the first part came out. I can 100% attest that this is exactly what it's like.
Can't wait for Walken as the Emperor
Yeah I read it like 4 years ago and started the seconded book and never finished it. Such a great series but so long and hard to understand that it is extremely hard to finish
You don't even know the mind games and sheer luck that allowed me to get through the first act of the book
As I can attest.
Gotta listen to the audiobook
I did the same thing with Lord of the Rings but eventually I got so tired of how much walking there was in the books that I finally just went on a hike and watched the movies and I feel I got a similar experience.
The descriptions of traversing the landscape are, no lie, one of the best parts. Don’t give a tossed dwarf what anyone else thinks!
@@richardanderson8107 as much as I loved redwall and plenty of other fantasy, I could not get through it but I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
Good idea! I’ll do the same thing w Dune, walk into the dessert while on Spice.

The fact I felt like this after only reading the Dune wiki and watching Jodorowsky’s Dune
It's so sad Jodorowsky never got his chance to make Dune.
To be fair, Jodorowsky admitted to not reading the book in the last scene of his documentary.
@@lees8359 Whatever he would have made wouldn't have been Dune, but it would definitely have been a sight to behold

THE GUILD DOES NOT TAKE YOUR ORDERS!
Pro tip: if you want to make people think that you've actually read the first Dune book, don't mention the Golden Path, since it'll instantly give you away.
god damn, thank you. I was like, "wait, it's a thing only since Children, it's been a while since I went back to the books, is my memory that bad"?
And “the spice must flow” is only a thing from the Lynch movie.
As someone who's only read the first one, I was so confused hearing that.
it's hinted in the dream sequences when Paul's vision first awakens but yeah the words golden path don't show up till the end of children lol
Whats the golden path?

I read Dune partly because the names are so fun to say. Gom Jabbar, Kwisatz Haderach, Shai Hulud, Duncan Idaho, etc.
"He mouthed her strange words: Gom jabbar... Kwisatz Haderach."
Duncan Idaho took me off guard, it's such a good yet weird combination of words.

If he really read the books he would have blue in blue eyes. This guys is such a casual
Reading the book after seeing the movie I had a lot of moments of "Oh, so that's what was happening". To actually understand it in movie form you'd need some kind of, constant internal monologue.
Consistent internal monologue sounds like a great idea until you watch the David Lynch version lol
@@thecianinator most of the time, internal monologue in movies is total cringe, yeah.
@@thecianinator I wonder how much, erm, spice, was consumed in the making of that movie.
@@hellterminator well it was the 80s haha
@@thecianinator They really aren't that bad if done well. I can see that working. But there are plenty of ways around it. Unfortunately none of the adaptations fully capture it. I'm rereading the book and everything someone has some important inner monologuing I'm like "That would be better left out. That could be a conversation between so and so, that could be done by having them take this one action etc etc"
A very Duncan Idaho to you as well my brother
I've gone from knowing nothing about Dune upon seeing part 1, to eager anticipation of part 2, having read the whole series.
This must be how the Reverend Mothers feel during the spice agony or something
I can confirm I’m basically the second Maud’ib after reading the book.
So you are a small desert rat?
Fear is the mind killer
Book Six is the mind killer. Seriously, wtf is up with that?
Beer is the mind killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration
I shall allow it to pass through me
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
It took me 3 purchases of the book and 7 attempts at reading them over 20 years before I finished it a week before the first movie came out. I’ve read it 4 more times since then.
Side effects of reading the first chapter of Dune include: reflexive vocalization of GOM JABBAR
Why is it so fun to say
And repeatedly trying to say the Litany against fear and fucking it up.
That book was so absorbing. I finished it 4 days after buying it and loved it. Genuinely struggled to put it down the whole time.
you should read the others. or at least 2 through 4.
@@JahlisMan I have really enjoyed them too, Godemperor of Dune is a funky title for your shelf but an enriching read
@@zero1onezero908 yeah, it's quite different to others, but that made me love it even more. stands on its own for sure:)
I also finished it in a couple days despite frequently not understanding what was going on lol, and pretty much the same thing happened when I read the sequels. I should re-read it someday.
As someone who read maybe 10 pages of Dune then stopped I can confirm that my brain got .01% bigger
You're wasting precious water on building that cerebral œdema.
"stop acting better than us just cuz you read the book" is one the best descriptions I've seen for some book readers

Nice touch referencing that one scene with the throat singing that everyone has collectively decided is the best thing ever
No one has ever read Dune they just watch Quinn's Ideas.
I read the book to prepare for the movie, but I'm pretty sure I forgot what happened in the second half since it's been two years.
You might want to talk to a doctor about that dementia.
I was lucky enough to read the "Dune" cycle when I was just a teenager and read like machine, so many books (and long ones!) a year. I am in my late 20's now and I feel as if I will read two or three books this year it will be a success. Already feeling old and tired...
Ah yes the Iconic "The Spice Must Flow" Quote that isn't in the book lol
I'm about to start reading Dune for the first time, so I look forward to becoming this guy.
Are you this guy yet?
how's it going
This is exactly me. I've started this book three times already and I cannot finish it. I'm a pretty decent reader, but for some reason this thing kills me every time. I should quit and just watch the movie because I keep trying and it frustrates me...
On the other hand, as Duncan Idaho famously said: fourth time's the spice!
And for some reason I read it as a 12 year old. I'm weird.
I read it, very very hard but worth it, made the movie make more sense.
It's crazy cause I'm an awful reader, but Dune fascinated me and was one of the few books I've ever read in less than 3 months lol.
You have to power through the first third, until the Harkonnen treason and the escape to the desert. After that it gets a lot more straightforward.
For me, it was the constant bombardment of made-up terminology. I eventually gave up trying to keep track of what every nonsensical word meant. There’s supposed to be an index to help with this; but in my opinion, if you need a second book to explain your first book, maybe your first book isn’t that great.
I tried twice to get into Dune in the 2010s but never made it past the second or third chapter. After getting introduced to the characters and setting by the movie it was way easier for me to read and get engrossed rather than it feeling like a chore.
I had a different experience but also similar in a way.
Always heard about Dune and that I should read it, but it always seemed... not that deep. Sandworms and drugs. “Alright, yea, whatever“, I arrogantly scoffed, “I can get the same experience the same at a nudist beach.“
But then my best friend started talking about it a lot and quoted it (from the top of his head too, and not just lines, but whole dialouges) and then he basically acted out the “Damn the Romans“ dialouge from God Emperor and I was hooked.
Actually he got me with the interview of the Ixian historian (he and I both study history and the line “The ultimate appeal to a historian“ reverberated in my soul).
And the book is difficult at the start, since it's so much to learn, but once it gets going it gets *going.*
@@DrunkenCoward1 meh that whole "chosen one is better than all the witches" or whatever and the weirdly "exotic" wife thing just threw me off
@@coldstuff9784 Except Paul isn't a chosen one.
On the surface, yes.
But at the end he's simply the culmination of the Bene Gesserit breeding experiment.
One generation too early, even.
Which majorly fucks up the Bene Gesserit plan and actually backfires to a degree that their expected chosen one became a curse for their order.
@@coldstuff9784 That's only at surface level. The book actually makes a point that the "choosen one" is in fact not a good thing at all for the people of the Dune galaxy.
@@rickymartin4457 I actually like the chosen one cliche, what I meant is that the guy ended up being better in a female-only thing. That's a common cliche that I really don't like lol
This is the content specifically catered to me, the kwisatz haderach, that I subscribed for
Finally one of your book videos that I actually understand
Real talk. People complain about all the complicated stuff in Dune but that's what made it so fun to read for me. Trying to keep track and make sense of all the names and concepts really pulls you into the story.
Dune made other sci-fi unbearable for me. if a book is just plot and stuff, with no philosophy and/or politics, I'm instantly bored:D
Yeah, the way the world is presented for the reader in these small bits of information here and there makes it mysterious and intriguing. The writing also really sparks the imagination, in ways few books have made me feel and you get this sense of wonder at how big the Dune universe is and how so much more is left to be discovered.
Dune isn't that complicated either. It is heavily political and has ASOIAF vibe. Those who enjoy ASOIAF may enjoy Dune.
If they can't get past the different language that Herbert made for the setting, they should use the dictionary at the back of the book.
Man carried my ass.
I went to my library yesterday looking for that book. It was checked out.
How you gonna flame me for something I haven't done yet!
I listened to the first book back in July of last year and I can confirm that I have been sand walking and intaking melange ever since.
Absolutely insane that this man went back in time to kill Frank Herbert, write and release Dune, all for a CZcams video. Sheer commitment!
I have never read dune nor have I seen the movie. In fact I have never even heard of Dune as a franchise. However, I do go poopy and pee pee in my pants often and therefore feel an intense and spiritual bond with the people of Arakkis
ah yes i can relate to this so much beacuse i read dune the famous book written by famous author
as a guy who chewed through all 6 books back in 2017, all I can say is... the Golden Path doesn't become a thing until the 3d one. and, of course, that THE SLEEPER MUST AWAKEEEEEEN
@viewz they’re talking about the third book, Children of Dune.
God, there's 6 of them??? I could barely slog through the first one... 😖
Pfft, “all” 6? A _real_ fan would have read Brian's books as well.
@@hellterminator I am a fan of Frank's books. I've read how the son chose to end the saga. and how not up to par his other books are. I refuse to read them.
bro really said "Duncan Idaho" with a straight face
I am most certainly not DUNE this 😂😂😂
But if he hasn't gotten past the first chapter, how could he know about the Golden path?? 🤔🤔🧐
He's been watching Quinn's Ideas and Nerd Cookies
Accidentally spoiled himself with the wiki
At least he didn’t mention the beef swelling 😂
When Dune Guy said his iconic line, "Duncan Idaho", on the big screen I wept tears of joy. I knew then and there we were getting a book faithful adaptation that would please old fans and new!
"Now you're looking at the appendix for words that make you sound smarter."
"Duncan Idaho."
I "read" it as an audiobook back in 2009. That's the way to do it.
It was so good I listened to the whole thing again a few years later. No way I would have done that with a physical book of that size
I read DUNE in prison, and even with all the time in the world to do nothing but read, it took me forever to get through that book.
"It makes me wish for Butlerian Jihad"
"Another?"
🤣
The first one was so successful it needs a sequel.
It took me getting a gastrointestinal parasite and being bedridden for 2 days on a vacation for me to finish Dune. Solid novel in my opinion
As a guy who just finished God Emperor… yeah, there was a moment when I was like this. 😂
I'm also stuck in chapter 1 of Dune....dune ur mom.
Heh gottem
chapter 1... would that make it first base then?
I finished the first 4 books and they're great.
You guys are making me wanna read it now
Dune was a fairly fast read for me. I have some books I work at for years and just never finish, but that one pulled me in; same thing happened with the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, just couldn't put them down. I kept going until I stalled out on book five (Heretics of Dune), which I came back to a couple times and think I'm actually almost to the end. I do want to finish up the rest of the main books at some point.
For the first time I’m grateful that I can read a translation. The french one is really good, I've loved reading it.
As someone who read and finished the book once 28 years ago, I'm happy I recognized some of the scenes in the films.
This has become, over the last few months, in one of my favorite channels. Good work!

0:41 Duncan Idaho
Back in the 70's, my dad (who's a huge scifi fan) tried to read Dune. He got TWO PARAGRAPHS in, and quit because it was just way too "out there" for him (his own words). Thankfully that didn't stop ME from seeing the 2021 film and reading the book lmao.
I feel that Dune is a lot less 'out there' than a lot of old SF lol
Extra points for "the spice must flow" not being in the actual book, but rather that quite being from the David Lynch film.
It's in the blurb of the one published by Generic
The exact version of Dune that's used in this video has been on my shelf waiting to be read past chapter one for the past 8 years
How did he know about the Golden Path? I don't remember it being mentioned in the first book. Does that character have prescience?
Feeling superior to the movie watchers because you read the book: ✋
Feeling superior to the readers because you read the book and didn't enjoy it: 👉
_for the record this is a joke, I didn't like the book but whatever your opinion glad you enjoy what you like_
How dare you dislike something that I enjoyed
The even more based opinion is to chose one or several of the dune books as perfect tales that are incredible philosophical and should be discussed in every class about anything ever and one or several other dune books as a complete fall off, and absolute garbage that “ lost the vibe”, bonus points if the books chosen for the latter category are ones written by Frank Herbert, ( I am guilty of this).

can confirm. Starting reading the book before the new movie was even announced and didn't finish until shortly before it came out
The trick is to read Stormlight immediately after. That way, your personality isn't limited to one book series.
It's limited to two.
yes
Dune was not an easy read, but I don't remember it being that hard as the comments suggest. Maybe, because that was two decades ago when time wasn't as precious as resource as it is now.
I'm currently reading SA and I find it way more of a struggle. At my current pace, I'm not sure if I will finish it before the adaptation comes out.
@@Duckfest Stormlight archives is a much easier and simpler read than Dune.
A SEQUEL IN MY NAME!!
I just finished the first book, guys I think it's an underrated hidden gem.
somehow i read the first book in only a month, but the third one is going like this. the bookmark is starting to pay rent to the middle of the book. it's been 8 months.
i picked dune up for the first time yesterday, spent a good 40 minutes on the first twelve pages, and figured reading gravity's rainbow at an even slower pace was probably a better use of my time
Ok but what if you read it twice?
Loo this is me
I can confirm that reading DUNE does make your brain bigger.
It is however an incredibly painful, grueling, exhausting and nauseating process, as the thought juices flow from the pages into your brain, which swells up unnaturally, pressing against your skull
Seems like an appropriate place to share that I've read the first THREE books!

Oh yeah. The first movie is why i started watching man carrying things. I thought he was a dune channel at first lol
man I feel so effin called out
I just love the Freud t-shirt, Man carries it like no one else.
It's the way his head ever-so-slightly but oh-so-condescendingly twitches at 0:19 that gets me every time.
he referenced the golden path which i thought only started being mentioned in the third book, idk im only on book 4 and i started reading a month or so after i watched part 1
This video called me out to a T. I bought the book a year and a 1/2 ago and haven’t reached the 1/2 way Point. And still haven’t watched the trailer for 2 😂
this video gave me an adult beefswelling
If I can't sneer down my nose at movie-watchers then why did I even read the book?
I began reading the novel mostly for the world building and terminology explained in the appendix only a few days before the new trailer arrived. Felt like a cosmic coincidence back then, now it seems I just became this guy.
Finally finished Dune and started Messiah, I love this franchise so much
