[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you like non-sci fi wise, OP?  That can help direct my recs.[/quote]

I liked the political intrigue in Dune, so things along those lines. I appreciate good writing (like an English major wrote it  :) ), muti-dimensional characters, intersecting story lines, a plot that moves.

Pretty vanilla, but there you go.[/quote]

I have read The Patternist series, Dune, and started Foundation. Here are my observations:

-Patternist has some/good deal of political intrigue, there are certainly hints of an earth you know. The characters are well-developed and I found iy engaging.
-Dune is really a work of political fiction set in an alternate world setting. Despite these books being really long, they are page turners. Hard to turn into movies/miniseries, but there's a reason people keep doing it.
-Foundation. Well, I have always had a hard time with Asimov. I find him plodding. I found this book plodding. I love the concept, but after the series came out on Apple TV I stopped reading. If you have watched the series it's very different. One of my beefs with the book (as far as I got, anyway) is that every character was male. As a 51 year old woman I am over it.[/quote]
