didn't realize how sluggish dune felt to read until i started this. everything seems so much more alive. even tho i was really rooting for the monster storyline to be abandoned since it didn't really add much to the first part. at least this time it feels a lot more directed since the bearer of the madness seems to use it to control the gangs of the city.

it also got really violent really fast again. definitely not a book for people who can't deal with a good bit of gore.

part of becoming muad'dib, the kwisatz haderach, the one foretold by many generations of race consciousness in the lineage of the bene gesserit, is that you will mansplain the bene gesserit to your own mother, the reverend mother of the fremen people.

also here's a similarity between herbert's and tolkien's work that i really should've seen coming: they both really want me to read their poetry. i feel like herbert's is no good though.. either that or i'm reading it wrong. his poems are supposed to be songs so i'm reading them out loud and trying to apply a somewhat musical cadence to it and it's just. not. working.

i saw a clip of alia from the david lynch movie in the 80s and now i hate everything. sure she's weird but... she's not THAT weird. neither is the lady jessica.

paul might be a weirdo though. stop drink9ing poiso n you fuck. nobody aske you too,,
