Love is patient, love is kind. It does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Without a doubt, my favorite book is Small Gods by Terry Pratchett.
It's awesome.

Sapphire, are you reading "Dune"??I'll answer this, even though it was posted over a year ago. I've got nothing better to do. Yeah, I read that book a couple years ago, and I loved it. I didn't find it that hard to understand, and that was when I was a Freshman in high school, two years ago. I guess...yeah, I'm just smarter than you . I should read it again, after I'm through with the series I'm reading now. Just in case Symphony still cares.

I remember vaguely asking, but I don't 'member what else I said there.
It's very interesting, tho, that that book - or is it a series of books? - is still apparently popular. I picked it up randomly to read on a trans-Pacific flight when I was 18. And that was 1973.
I just remember not understanding it at all. I rarely go for those kinds of books.
The closest I probably got was Ray Bradbury, and I collected his books for a while.
Sort of like that weird 1960s tv serial with the former "Secret Agent" actor, Patrick McGoohan, "The Prisoner", as a prisoner on a weird, deserted island, or village. It developed a peculiar cult following.
What's "Dune" about? Have you finished it? Does it have a point? Is there anything to like about it?

Hmm. I can't seem to remember any specifics, as it's been a while. I remember there being a whole lot of political intrigue and the like, mixed with a fantasy-esque plot about a boy whose been prophesied to be special in some way (honestly can't remember how). It all takes place on the planet Arrakis (a.k.a. Dune), where Houses (kind of like political parties) are at war over melange, a drug that is somehow very valuable. It's a slow plot and probably won't grab the attention of someone not familiar or interested in sci-fi.
Yes, I finished it, and loved it.
It has a point, but only if you care about the genre. It's not really a morally controversial book (at least, I don't remember ever finding anything that could be controversial about it) either.
I liked it. I immediately proclaimed it as being my all-time favorite book, and I'm sure if I re-read it, I'd like it just as much.
