[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just finished Dune. Taking a break before reading the next in the series.

Started reading “The Housekeeper and the Professor” by Yoko Ogawa. Interesting so far.[/quote]

NP and I just got Dune from the library- thoughts before I start?[/quote]

A lot of people feel that the first 200 or so pages are slow. So keep at it. In my case, Dune was on my “to read” list for a long time but I didn’t want to commit to a series. Well, I recently watched Dune 1 when it was re-released on imax and was totally hooked, and read the book. So it set me up well. [/quote]

The nice thing about Dune is that it’s a fairly complete story- you can stop at the end. No need to go into the other ones. Or you can keep going in the series, where each successive book  is also complete story.

For me, I really liked the first few and then it kind of descends into weirdness beyond my preference and so I stopped, but I still really like the first few, and not finishing the series didn’t impact any enjoyment. (Also the last couple were published posthumously.) [/quote]

Yeah, I definitely do plan to read more, but I am not a not a “I must read all the books in the series” type of person. Will see how far it takes me. I’ve a close friend whose interests align well with mine, and she thinks I will like books 1-3[/quote]
