Underated by those who havent read it, overated by those who have, tge first one I liked, it was great and gave a bunch of good concepts that paved the way for Star Wars, and had a great influence on the amazing Warhammer 40k. The second one was eh, seemed like a waste of paper, children on Dune begins getting weird, abd it gets into uncanney valley from there, but reading the firstonealone wont give gou enough info on the overall dune universe.

It's called worldbuilding and it's what makes fictional stories like Dune seem more authentic, they even incorporate real human cultural aspects, like some of the borrowing from Islam in some of the terminology, invoking 'real' things too. Ultimately and essentially the story is still actually about humans here on Earth, with themes that exists in the human condition here on this planet (ex. the themes of fate and free will in Dune).

How to tell a pleb from a pat

I really liked The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, and even though I still haven't read 1Q84 nothing I've read from Murakami comes remotely near to the "best things I've read".
If you want to have a great asian chuckle, I'd suggest "Life And Death Are Wearing Me Out" by Mo Yan

>>688740001
I'll go with "The Inevitable Lightness Of Being" by Milan Kundera. Has anyone on /b/ read it?

It's like Jerry Springer for people who read the New Yorker.

I haven't read infinite light but read "Of Laughter and Forgetting" by Kundera. One of the few pieces of surrealist lit I like.

>>688742228

I'll get to it eventually :) my plan is to read everything Kundera

I strongly urge you to read TULOB though, it's an extremely interesting read, to say the least
