I've been reading the Dune series lately, finished Dune over the weekend, then finished Dune Messiah yesterday now I'm into Children of Dune which will probably last until the weekend and then it's onto God-Emperor of Dune <_<
Dune Messiah is gunna be one of the next books I read
I was a bit wary given that it was only 200 pages and to me that says 'uh oh' but I was actually very content with it. The themes running through the book, the intrigue and the way it was ended (I would say wrapped up but it wasn't, intentionally of course)

It's one of those series that I think 'why on earth did it take me this long to start reading it?'

Minor non-spoiler spoilers, obscure and inane level spoiler
Spoiler
I chuckled when I saw the name of a character as Hayt, because that was the name of the Harkonnen mentat for the Dune 2000 game >_>
wtf it's only 200 pages? That's bizarre. The first is like something stupid like 900
Yeah it was quite odd, mind you it's a small print book that I have but yeah 200.
The first was around 600+ iirc, the edition I have anyhoo.

It is oddly small, but I think it does a good job of keeping focus on the story around Muad 'Dib and subsequent events >.>

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
I'm reading quite a few currently. Finishing off GRRM's A Feast for Crows mainly, though.

Started reading Cameron at 10, which is a biography of David Cameron's premiership from 2010-2015, about 80 pages through at the moment. Also reading Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations Books IV-V, Hume's Enquiries Into Human Understanding, Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence and The Undercover Economist Strikes Back.

After that I'll start reading The Martian, a biography of Napoleon, either Stiglitz's The Price of Inequality or Acemoglu's Why Nations Fail, Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation, Simon Baron-Cohen's The Science of Evil and Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism.

How are you liking it.

I loved it first time I read through it. Must have gone through it three times again since then. It occupies a special place on my bookshelf.

Oh, I also dive into a big leatherbound book called the Necronomicon from time to time.
