Unironically one of my favorite movies

After not thinking about it forever, I was just thinking about few days back. It's interesting to see a poster soon afterwards.

Though, now that I think about it, it was also after watching a Dune meme, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Has anyone actually read it? Opinions on it?

It’s one of my favourite books. I have never read through a book so easily in my life, great plot and character development. It gets better as the book progresses.

Ok so ignore that last post it was a lie. I have never heard of this book before this meme

I was about to ask if you were mistakenly talking about Dune

I haven't read it myself but it got a 3 out of 5 on Goodreads.

I've not seen this particular one, but I love browsing the shelves at used book stores and buying 50s-70s SciFi based on the radical covers.
