[Review]—Frank Herbert's "Dune" is a Still Relevant Today


I finally managed to pull off the inconceivable. I have finished reading Dune by Frank Herbert, which I started reading in March of this year. Technically speaking, I began reading Dune in my early years—roughly thirty years ago. I recall that shortly after the broadcast premiere of Star Trek: The Next Generation, someone told my father that Patrick Stewart appeared in David Lynch's Dune. As a result, we rented the film on VHS. My father detested it, but I enjoyed it—enough to seek out the book and read a little over half of it before getting bored or perplexed by the plot. Please remember that I was a little child, so the narrative was perhaps a bit complex.

{Sunday Post}—A Christmas Memory, Domain, and Star Trek: Harm's Way

The Caffeinated Book Reviewer's Kimberly hosts a weekly meme called "The Sunday Post"! 


Weekly Tidbits


  • It's Friday night, and I can't sleep, so I made some coffee, which won't help me sleep later, and started working on my Sunday Post. I've been sick for the majority of the week. I'm beginning to wonder if the second booster injection is to blame. I had a low-grade fever on Tuesday, and a cold sore appeared on Wednesday. And I probably made things worse by trying to go about my days, as usual, resulting in me burning out in the early evenings, except for Wednesday, when I watched Chucky: The Series.
