No, tell me more!

Currently read the Dune series, just finished Children of Dune and will start God Emperor of Dune tonight.

Without spoiling, it challenges your entire conception about what consciousness and life are. It's definitely an Event Horizon kind of horror mind fuck that sucks you in. (Except it's a book so that feeling continues for days lol)

I never read any Dune. Always wanted to. My mom picked up the first one for me, used, somewhere, when I was little, and I stared at it on the shelf for decades.

Will put it on the list to read after!

Dune seems tricky to read as a child/teenager, it starts to get philosophical as the story goes on.
