I think the 2019 Romanian editions are one of the best-looking out there.

Almost at the end of Chapterhouse, and we’ve got the first-ever space battle actually described in Dune.

Granted, it’s the post-Guild, post-shield era: everyone has foldspace drives, no-fields and shields both use Holtzman fields and so can't be used at the same time, and the Great Convention is over so people just rely on nuclear weapons to overmatch shields. As a result it’s kind of like submarine warfare, cloaked no-ships trying to bait each other into giving away their positions and sniping at each other with lasguns from millions of kilometers apart.

Also found the most hilarious Herbert-ism so far. Apparently in the post-imperial era the common term for a docking port is a “shiptit.”

Ok I'm doing it I'm finally going to read Chapterhouse Dune, wish me luck

[wulfhalls]

agreed, the duncan alia thing was stupendously terrible, but what are your opinions on the last idaho ghola, of outfucking the honored matres prestige and ominous prescience of weird duo fame?

murbella was cuntslay enough and the dynamic interesting enough and ghola guy far away enough from any duncan iteration that I was borderline okay with some of it

also quotes like this greatly helped. and I can't overstate how cuntslay my beloved murbella is she CARRIED here

Finally completed my nice (and old) Dune book collection, which is relief because for the longest time, I had really shitty editions.

Shoutout to Messiah, who never a got a hardcover release with the “Dune” font.

Nothing stops until dead and perhaps not even then because each life creates endless ripples.

But there are weapons you cannot hold in your hands. You can only hold them in your mind.

The whole genetics project of the Bene Gesserit may have been dubbed a failure because Paul wasn't a girl but there was nothing stopping Paul and Feyd-Ruatha acting on that sexual tension they had in both book and film.

Paul could have taken Feyd as a third Consort. Just imagine Paul with his Empress Irulan and his wife Chani sitting at his side and Feyd just sprawled on the dais steps just wearing something scandalous like

You were right Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, wasted potential.
