  3. I am still, even now, in awe of the books that are Dune. Frank Herbert is by far one of the most amazing writers and imaginers of all time. the world he creates, the plots he weaves, just MMMM. the politics, the ecology, the religions, it just blends so wonderfully. im trying children of dune for the third time as I couldn't read it the first two because it fell apart for me. im finding it much better than before. yet somehow I still love Dune Messiah the most of all of them. Dune Messiah is fundamentally the opposite of its predecessor, Dune. Dune Messiah shows the falling of the moon that is Paul Atriedes that was so well built up in Dune. it shows his fall from the high pedestal that he built for himself. in the words of Frank Herbert himself, paraphrased "there could be no greater peril for the fremen than to fall into the hands of a hero" but I digress, Dune is the pinnacle of sci fi. 

  4. I have a question. What kind of Sentient Awakened Object do you think I'd be?

  5. Happy birthday DramaQueen! Make use of your time, for it is growing ever shorter...

    (hehehe)

    *sob*

    I am going to go through every single one of these.

    Wish me luck...

  10. I haven't been reading much recently. I keep going through cycles of reading everything I can get my hands on and just generally being obsessed with books to not reading a single chapter for months on end. My TBR list is very, very, long.

    So I've been watching British panel shows and recorded stand-up comedy. I don't want to watch anything with a plot, that's how burnt out I am.

    Does anybody else on here watch Taskmaster, or other panel shows? I highly doubt it (we're not exactly its target audience) but hey, I can try.

    If not, are there any nonfiction books you'd recommend?

    I'm feeling sad and I don't know why. Or maybe I do know why; I moved to a big city recently, and I'm staying at a hotel for the the first time in two, maybe three years. I honestly don't want to move back, but I spent almost half my life there, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it a little bit. It's a big change.

    Also, I miss my mum.

    Anyway, thank you for reading all this. Like I said to The Wandering Wizard, I'm feeling long-winded today. I always talk to myself a lot when I'm melancholy. Not depressed, melancholy. In my head there's a difference.

    And a third question that I just thought of. If you start a book title in the middle of a sentence, do you say the Chronicles of Narnia or The Chronicles of Narnia? The latter looks wrong to me; I don't know why.

  11. Thanks for following me!
