Reading Dune left my brain buzzing in the best way possible. It's like a good kind of hurt, you know? The way it dives into court politics and throws in some real-world commentary about the West and the Middle East—it's spot on, especially with everything going on today.
And if you're coming from the movies, take your time with the book. It's not a quick read and shouldn't be treated as such. It's a reading experience you want to savor. It took me almost a month to get through it when I could squeeze in some reading around my other daily stuff.
