Working on Heretics of Dune by Frank Herbert. Love all his work. Can't say the same about his son's efforts, though
Cool. I haven't really made the time to dive in and I'm still on page 40 but I'm really liking it so far. I've owned a copy of this book for... 13 years? I think I've put it off for fear that I won't get it or something.You are a lucky guy, and you should be both. Great book. Not a great series, IMHO.
It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis.
If you haven't, you really need to read this book. It was published in 1935, and I seem to say "wow" or "holy crap" with every turn of a new page.

Just checked with our local library and they have five copies on order.

As someone who has read 1984 six times since 1984, I can say nothing just happened. Change is gradual.Geez, I just checked my big county-wide system, and every copy of It Can't Happen Here has at least 5 reservations. Even the online versions are stacked 7 deep.
Did something happen recently?
Lewis, Huxley, and Orwell understood human nature.I don't want to spoil the book and don't want to start an inappropriate debate, but my goodness ... I think certain sectors read this book as a "how to" manual. It's scary how close Lewis, in 1935, came to hitting the 2016/17 nail on the head.
Nice. I have this on my list of classics to get to hopefully eventually.
Interesting read so far, keeping my entertained on the tube. Not light reading, but not the heaviest, at least by my standards.Nice. I have this on my list of classics to get to hopefully eventually.
