Remember when we were trying to decide if we were going to read Game of Thrones or Dune? Welcome to our healthy compromise! This discussion covers the first third of Frank Herbert’s Dune, which is, paradoxically, also called Dune. We’ve got lots to discuss as we settle into our new home of Arrakis, including: the Lovecraftian grandeur of the sandworms, the dialogue-first approach to epic storytelling, the irresistible framework of Shakespeare’s Henry IV, and the strange, scandalized feeling of discovering 1965’s Dune long after 1977’s “revolutionary” Star Wars.
