FIFY...One of my favorite series are the Dune books byBrianFrank Herbert
I made it through three Dune books and then gave it up forever.I read a lot. Burned through Atlas Shrugged and liked it. Have read all the LOTR as well, very well done.
Working on an almost 1,000 page annotated book of all 4 novels and 56 stories of Sherlock Holmes by Conan Doyle. Book is 12"by 10" and small print.
One of my favorite series are the Dune books by Brian Herbert, all 13 including pre and sequels.. They can be hard to keep track of the characters but to me they are a good read.

It's chicks. It's always chicks.but the reasons for some of the drama escaped me.
If you take candy bar without killing brother, you can take his next one too.Seems to be that way these days, but there seemed to be more "daddy/mommy/sibling issues" in those days.
Don't get me wrong, I have thought of killing my brother, but it was because he ate his candy bar more slowly and when I was done, he still had some.
I have read both.I have read Lord of the Rings and enjoyed it. But I have given up on Moby Dick several times.
Asimov's Foundation Trilogy is a great readI have always been a reader, so I am loving this exchange.
As a young adult, I had become enamoured with Shakespeare's work, read it all over and over and still did not get much of it. I appreciated the "poetry" but the reasons for some of the drama escaped me.
Then one day, many years later I discovered Isaac Asimov's "The Annotated Shakespeare" and I went through it all again.
Kind of a large book, but instead of zipping through it, every few pages, you find something that makes you flip back a couple of hundred and reread previous pages because of just having had an epiphanous moment.
Asimov also has "The Annotated Bible" for those so inclined. It is beyond reason how much insight a highly educated athiest can bring to the understanding of such Holy ancient works. He fills in many gaps of our knowledge of history of the times and how times and culture had changed over the writing period of the scriptures.
Mind boggling!
