Yeah I read it like 4 years ago and started the seconded book and never finished it. Such a great series but so long and hard to understand that it is extremely hard to finish
I did the same thing with Lord of the Rings but eventually I got so tired of how much walking there was in the books that I finally just went on a hike and watched the movies and I feel I got a similar experience.
Pro tip: if you want to make people think that you've actually read the first Dune book, don't mention the Golden Path, since it'll instantly give you away.
Reading the book after seeing the movie I had a lot of moments of "Oh, so that's what was happening". To actually understand it in movie form you'd need some kind of, constant internal monologue.
@@thecianinator They really aren't that bad if done well. I can see that working. But there are plenty of ways around it. Unfortunately none of the adaptations fully capture it. I'm rereading the book and everything someone has some important inner monologuing I'm like "That would be better left out. That could be a conversation between so and so, that could be done by having them take this one action etc etc"
I've gone from knowing nothing about Dune upon seeing part 1, to eager anticipation of part 2, having read the whole series. This must be how the Reverend Mothers feel during the spice agony or something
It took me 3 purchases of the book and 7 attempts at reading them over 20 years before I finished it a week before the first movie came out. I’ve read it 4 more times since then.
I also finished it in a couple days despite frequently not understanding what was going on lol, and pretty much the same thing happened when I read the sequels. I should re-read it someday.
When Dune Guy said his iconic line, "Duncan Idaho", on the big screen I wept tears of joy. I knew then and there we were getting a book faithful adaptation that would please old fans and new!
I was lucky enough to read the "Dune" cycle when I was just a teenager and read like machine, so many books (and long ones!) a year. I am in my late 20's now and I feel as if I will read two or three books this year it will be a success. Already feeling old and tired...
Real talk. People complain about all the complicated stuff in Dune but that's what made it so fun to read for me. Trying to keep track and make sense of all the names and concepts really pulls you into the story.
Yeah, the way the world is presented for the reader in these small bits of information here and there makes it mysterious and intriguing. The writing also really sparks the imagination, in ways few books have made me feel and you get this sense of wonder at how big the Dune universe is and how so much more is left to be discovered.
I have never read dune nor have I seen the movie. In fact I have never even heard of Dune as a franchise. However, I do go poopy and pee pee in my pants often and therefore feel an intense and spiritual bond with the people of Arakkis
I tried twice to get into Dune in the 2010s but never made it past the second or third chapter. After getting introduced to the characters and setting by the movie it was way easier for me to read and get engrossed rather than it feeling like a chore.
I had a different experience but also similar in a way. Always heard about Dune and that I should read it, but it always seemed... not that deep. Sandworms and drugs. “Alright, yea, whatever“, I arrogantly scoffed, “I can get the same experience the same at a nudist beach.“ But then my best friend started talking about it a lot and quoted it (from the top of his head too, and not just lines, but whole dialouges) and then he basically acted out the “Damn the Romans“ dialouge from God Emperor and I was hooked. Actually he got me with the interview of the Ixian historian (he and I both study history and the line “The ultimate appeal to a historian“ reverberated in my soul). And the book is difficult at the start, since it's so much to learn, but once it gets going it gets *going.*
@@coldstuff9784 Except Paul isn't a chosen one. On the surface, yes. But at the end he's simply the culmination of the Bene Gesserit breeding experiment. One generation too early, even. Which majorly fucks up the Bene Gesserit plan and actually backfires to a degree that their expected chosen one became a curse for their order.
@@coldstuff9784 That's only at surface level. The book actually makes a point that the "choosen one" is in fact not a good thing at all for the people of the Dune galaxy.

This is exactly me. I've started this book three times already and I cannot finish it. I'm a pretty decent reader, but for some reason this thing kills me every time. I should quit and just watch the movie because I keep trying and it frustrates me... On the other hand, as Duncan Idaho famously said: fourth time's the spice!
For me, it was the constant bombardment of made-up terminology. I eventually gave up trying to keep track of what every nonsensical word meant. There’s supposed to be an index to help with this; but in my opinion, if you need a second book to explain your first book, maybe your first book isn’t that great.

I saw a video of Herbert saying his fans were so into it that people were worried he started a cult. I think he jokingly said he'd make a town with them all. Also, dune does this to people because it's amazing.
I "read" it as an audiobook back in 2009. That's the way to do it. It was so good I listened to the whole thing again a few years later. No way I would have done that with a physical book of that size
Anyone having trouble with the books and who really loves the story from the current movies should watch the TV miniseries (2000 for Dune, and 2003 for both Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, covered under the latter title). Very worthwhile. They take a Shakespearean approach, but it ends up working surprisingly well once you get used to the rhythm.
Dune was a fairly fast read for me. I have some books I work at for years and just never finish, but that one pulled me in; same thing happened with the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, just couldn't put them down. I kept going until I stalled out on book five (Heretics of Dune), which I came back to a couple times and think I'm actually almost to the end. I do want to finish up the rest of the main books at some point.
Dune is one of the few book series which i actually was able to get into, and is my favorite. I do however understand that many people prefer more direct stories for their books. Dune isnt for everyone after all
Back in the 70's, my dad (who's a huge scifi fan) tried to read Dune. He got TWO PARAGRAPHS in, and quit because it was just way too "out there" for him (his own words). Thankfully that didn't stop ME from seeing the 2021 film and reading the book lmao.
I can confirm that reading DUNE does make your brain bigger. It is however an incredibly painful, grueling, exhausting and nauseating process, as the thought juices flow from the pages into your brain, which swells up unnaturally, pressing against your skull
somehow i read the first book in only a month, but the third one is going like this. the bookmark is starting to pay rent to the middle of the book. it's been 8 months.
Feeling superior to the movie watchers because you read the book: ✋ Feeling superior to the readers because you read the book and didn't enjoy it: 👉 _for the record this is a joke, I didn't like the book but whatever your opinion glad you enjoy what you like_
The even more based opinion is to chose one or several of the dune books as perfect tales that are incredible philosophical and should be discussed in every class about anything ever and one or several other dune books as a complete fall off, and absolute garbage that “ lost the vibe”, bonus points if the books chosen for the latter category are ones written by Frank Herbert, ( I am guilty of this).
So this is gonna sound a little bit nerdish BUT, I fuckin loved that you finished the video with “The spice must flow” which is a phrase that is from the Lynch movie not the books
Dune was not an easy read, but I don't remember it being that hard as the comments suggest. Maybe, because that was two decades ago when time wasn't as precious as resource as it is now. I'm currently reading SA and I find it way more of a struggle. At my current pace, I'm not sure if I will finish it before the adaptation comes out.
he referenced the golden path which i thought only started being mentioned in the third book, idk im only on book 4 and i started reading a month or so after i watched part 1
i picked dune up for the first time yesterday, spent a good 40 minutes on the first twelve pages, and figured reading gravity's rainbow at an even slower pace was probably a better use of my time

The even more based opinion is to chose one or several of the dune books as perfect tales that are incredible philosophical and should be discussed in every class about anything ever and one or several other dune books as a complete fall off, and absolute garbage that “ lost the vibe”, bonus points if the books chosen for the latter category are ones written by Frank Herbert, ( I am guilty of this).
In prep for part 2, I am re-reading the book, and Im doing it in 10 days. Its harsh
I’m reading it for the first time trying to finish it by the time the movie comes out and … yeahhhh
A SEQUEL IN MY NAME!!
So this is gonna sound a little bit nerdish BUT, I fuckin loved that you finished the video with “The spice must flow” which is a phrase that is from the Lynch movie not the books
The trick is to read Stormlight immediately after. That way, your personality isn't limited to one book series.
It's limited to two.
yes
Dune was not an easy read, but I don't remember it being that hard as the comments suggest. Maybe, because that was two decades ago when time wasn't as precious as resource as it is now.
I'm currently reading SA and I find it way more of a struggle. At my current pace, I'm not sure if I will finish it before the adaptation comes out.
@@Duckfest Stormlight archives is a much easier and simpler read than Dune.
I fucking lost it at duncan idaho
0:31 this video is clearly fake, someone who only looks at the text could never pronounce "Bene Gesserit"
Bean Jess Ur It. Is that correct?
I'm not necessarily asking for a -new- Butlerian Jihad, but I wouldn't complain if it happened either.
Ok but what if you read it twice?
Loo this is me
he referenced the golden path which i thought only started being mentioned in the third book, idk im only on book 4 and i started reading a month or so after i watched part 1
Hi
Hi
"another?"
i picked dune up for the first time yesterday, spent a good 40 minutes on the first twelve pages, and figured reading gravity's rainbow at an even slower pace was probably a better use of my time
I remember I thought the book was a little slow in the first quarter, but I really burned through it once I picked it back up after a few months.
