You read Ulysses because you thought that there would be mention of the IRA and you'd get your Ethnostate brownie points while skimming over the wordplay

I read Ulysses because Leopold Bloom's wife is getting fucked by another man only for him to turn into a girl at the hands of a dominatrix in the red light district

It‘s one of the only things I was able to understand and recall from Ulysses and until coming to /lit/ I genuinely thought I had gotten a skewed reading from having watched too many trannies on the internet but that it certainly meant something else.

does the atheism start in the last two books? I didn't bother with them since no one seems to like them.
I ask because the first two seem intended to demonstrate the hubris of thinking you're above religion, the absolute powerlessness of even exceptional people in the face of god, and the necessity of giving up your vain defiance of the divine in order to live well, or indeed at all.

God emperor of dune is basically all "philosophy", by which I mean a sort of dialogue with an incomprehensible being that so transcends everyone else in existence that he literally spends all his time dunking on them for "fun", just being the only one to get the joke on a massive scale.

Haven't read God Emperor yet, buy Children I thought was rather disappointing. I also think it's rather telling that all the best scenes in Children are the ones with Paul/The Preacher. I think Herbert wanted to create a character who could surpass Paul by having the courage to do something even he wouldn't, but fails since Paul has a kinder heart. and is more emotional/relatable than Leto. Also, I don't think he realized how based he made Paul in children:
>Survives his apparent demise at the end of the last book
>Calls out everyone including his sister for not understanding his message as a Messiah.
>Knew about the Golden Path, but refused to take it because he believed he could find a future unseen that would be less cruel to humanity
Paul is an anime protagonist trapped in a series that refuses to let him be one, which is rather disappointing given how much power scaling Herbert indulges in. I'll definitely read God Emperor to see if it lives up to the hype, but so far I'm inclined to think Dune peaked with the first book, with Messiah being a passable epilogue.

God Emperor is weird, for sure. I actually thought of adding that I didn't actually enjoy the book anywhere near as much as I did the original, but I thought that might be unnecessarily weighing anon's judgment. I still think the book is good though, in a way that's strangely separate from my enjoyment of it. It's definitely fairly unique.

>>22785831
In God Emperor Herbert fully leans into the unrelatability of Leto, it's really the main theme.
The way I see it, there are two Dune books, being the original and God Emperor, and what's in between is either the off-ramp of the original or the lead-up to God Emperor.
Read the ones after that at your own peril, by the way.

Ik,r? Especially Chapterhouse, what the hell was he thinking inserting modern day Jews into the mix? Might as well have Presbyterians and Sikhs pop up next. The whole feel of deep time, when human cultures have eveolved almost out of recognition, is completely demolished by this. The Jews became the Sardaukar in the original version, if you recall. Interestingly, if you remove every single scene relating to the modern Hebrews in Chapterhouse, the novel (such as it is lol) is completely unaffected. The Jewish plotline was obviously added later, after the book was written. But why?

I started reading it, and as with all Mishima books, I really really want to like them due to the guy’s aesthetic and nationalistic shenanigans… and god knows much good a homo fascist archetype would do us. Yet… it’s just not gripping enough, it’s almost striking but not quite… living wise he did put his money where his mouth was, but literature wise he’s just slightly above meh imo.
