#*I ... was hoping to reread the MoE I've read and read the one I haven't for a storygraph challenge but I ignored it too long I think

I maintain that Raye Pember is a more reasonable name than Duncan Idaho.

#nobody asked me to compare these names idek. #also like I've read at least 4 volumes of manga recently and modern scifi and #so the name wellington yueh just sounds like he belongs to a way more ... sensible universe than Dune? #imago? Raadchi living ships? calendrical swords and revenants*? beat the pants off the plausibility of like. Bene Gesseret #and the whole feudalistic-fetishism feel! it feels weirdly like an SCA thing except without any of the good parts #*I ... was hoping to reread the MoE I've read and read the one I haven't for a storygraph challenge but I ignored it too long I think #for the timing to work out and me to get to it before the challenge is over. idk might do it still. then i found out #mysterious island is a 20K Leagues sequel and that's the Verne I don't remember well #anyway i actually haven't reread MoE recently but they live in my head (much like fragments of the Zagreus poem) #I guess I don't dislike Dune but I don't entirely *like* it so far #(while only I think ¼ of the way through the series I am enjoying Death Note tho! #Light you bastard. L you... idek but I appreciate your look #delicious pointed cop criticism!)
