Which BYC member scares you?

And the odds are that the movie and the book will deviate at the end. Herbert had some... Ideas about women, and it showed a bit in his writing unfortunately. The Dune series is still an incredible read but reading it again now vs when I devoured it at 14 I can see it.

Oh, he had ideas about more than just women from what I've noticed. But still super good books

Nap time?

I wish. I'm at work and super sleepy.

I need to add Dune to my list. Of course I still have shelves full of books I haven't read.

No, I do not have a problem! I can stop any time I want to!

Anne McCaffrey's Dragonrider of Pern is a very good series.

Oh blah. Maybe I don't want to read it then

You do. Regardless of his ideas, it's still well worth reading.

Yeah, I don't know. I deal with enough real life sexism. I don't need to go looking for it in my entertainment as well.

Might just watch the movie and call it a day

Watch the new one then. The old one (iirc) still has a bit of the same tones

Watch the 1984 rock opera version by David Lynch first.

Nah. it's cheese. Even in 1984, there were things you didn't put into movies and they got left on the cutting room floor (but are in the director's cut if I remember)
