I'm still trying to read Dune. I'm 65% through it now though.

Before that I read Lord of the Flies and Catcher in the Rye. I enjoyed LotF more than Catcher for the following reasons:
1) I truly loathe Holden Caulfield. He's a horrible character. 2) I appreciated the imagery of how the children sorted themselves out on the island. 3) The kids tried. Holden doesn't. 4) I did not like how LotF ended, but at least their story was more relatable. 5) I just wanted to give Piggy a hug and a sandwich.

I can't recommend Camus enough. The Stranger is a remarkable work - in my opinion his best - and one that I feel a great deal of affinity to.

I knew you really liked Camus.

But yes, The Stranger is a fantastic read. I recommend it too.

Oooh, I see we have Dune fans... I'm a little bit obsessed, as evidenced by the current Spiritus government theme.

I just finished a new book called Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer; any of you read it? It was very bizarre and creepy, but I liked it a lot. It's the first in a trilogy; all three come out this year.

What's Dune?

Har. Har. Har.

On a semi but not really related note, I love it when I go to mass at a parish I don't normally attend and they have parts of the mass in Latin with a handout for the words and translation. (It's reading?)

Pfft, you Catholics and your Latin and confusing mass where I don't have any idea what I'm doing.

On a more serious note, I actually have no idea what Dune is. Can someone explain?

It's only one of the most amazing books ever written! I don't know how to explain it, so just read it.
