What the hell, /lit/
You said this book was good

it is you mong
also how was the Bene Gesserit supposed to get Leto to let his daughter marry Feyd-Rautha?

I guess if the Gaius Helen whatever knew about the Emperor's plan to destroy house Atreides she assumed that the kid would have to be married to Feyd aftewards, but even then there's the risk of her killing herself or whatever

point being, it should've been the opposite way around with the harko daughter coming in as a witch unawares of her parenthood just like Jessica
yeah, sex linked genes I know, blah blah blah but jesus fuck that would've been almost as much of a debacle as all the Arrakis shit

Shaddam IV was who fucked the plan by giving Arrakis to the Atreides imo

I never.. but, if you do get through it? post a tldr summary, because, its the only way I'm ever gonna find out wtf that convoluted nonsense is supposed to be about either. Nor am I kidding, it really is unreadable, IMO.

No we didn't. In fact, Dune often gets criticised here.

Literature, actually, chief. No, I dunno, tbh, I can (and often do) read anything and everything otherwise, SF? - PKD, hes good, Im good with that, we all good here, etc.

But cross SF with Fantasy? - which, far as I could make out, probably a fair description of Dune.. Just No, & No Again.

Ian Banks is probably good example, read (and enjoyed..) everything otherwise - throw an M .in there? Nope, Trash - I tried, Im allergic, nothing to be done..

Trolled me into picking up Dune, again, now. But as OP correctly noted, for some reason, that shit def. aint everyones cup of tea, to put it mildly.

This. Learn to tell the difference between /lit/ and /genrefiction/, OP.

(Not even kidding. Dune's probably very good within the sci-fi genre, but you can read it expecting good literature)
