I was gonna say that’s what ereaders are for but then I realized I’ve never been able to bring myself to read any Dune book as an ebook. It’s gotta be paper. No idea why but I can’t read it any other way.


Which is funny because an ebook would solve my “constantly rebuying Dune because I keep lending it to people who then move away/we break up before I get it back” problem.
I have the series in paperback, the OG Dune's binding is falling apart to the point where pages will fall out. I'm never getting rid of those books but I finally caved and got the series on Kindle so they can stay safely packed away.

The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I have all six books in paperback and on Kindle plus a fancy hardcover of Dune, which IMO is the bare minimum collection for posting itt

I hold all six books in my mentat brain, constantly rereading them in parallel, correlating each infinite permutation of sentences in search of hidden meaning.

Mentat projection: I am reading with dangerous speed.

Frank's horny permeates my thought patterns, myriad beefswellings winking in and out of existence as I furiously analyse space pussy magic passages.

Mentat projection: The gross protuberance has lifted me to a new level of ability.

Faster and faster I read, impossible connections forming and releasing endlessly in scraps of seconds until the underlying truth of the novels reveals itself.

I was with you until the end, Mentats canonically never reach useful and correct conclusions, they just waffle endlessly until they fall down the stairs or something and die

[Mentat just standing there for three hours with pained and confused look on his face] Funcan...ducks...what could it possibly mean? I feel like I'm so close to actually being useful for once in my life.......... [frisbee comes flying in from off-screen, hitting Mentat in the head and instantly killing him]

Mentats are a bunch of Star Trek Geordie LaForge engineers coming up with a ton of fancy technical suggestions but they're in the Star Wars universe where everything works by magic and stupidity.

e: so basically real engineers I guess

Just a perfectly rational mentat, calmly mentatsplaining pussy magic to a histerically hormonal reverend mother, not understanding why everyone is pissed at him.

"What??? I'm just saying that knowing two hundred and five positions is not really reverend like, why are you being so illogical about it?"
