Hey there, I am curious what everyone is reading and how you are feeling with it. I started demon copperhead yesterday, made it about 70 pages in and decided to read the first book in the chthulu CaseBooks. It's a kinda retelling of Sherlock Holmes but with a Lovecraft quist.

I am digging it so far, about 50% through and it's a fun ride.

So what are you all reading?

Currently reading Heretics of Dune. It's...very different from the first three but only as different as God Emperor of Dune was.

Oh man, I'm so jealous at you getting to read the Dune books for the first time. I'm about to start Children on my third reread, and every time I read the series I'm just as enthralled as the first time. Dune + Children is probably my second favorite novel ever written, though God Emperor is close behind them.

I'm reading Children of Dune for the first time now. I'm still near the start, but I'm enjoying it so far.

Messiah to me feels like a stepping stone but I don't have anything bad to say about it. It was essential for Paul's character because he

gives up instead of following what we later learn is the Golden Path

It feels like he's at the height of his prescient powers in Messiah which is important for the above spoiler.
