Dune is Not About Oil
The prompt for the Book Club challenge is funny because it was David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation that introduced me to Dune. Dune was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It was one of my top picks at the library, besides all the Star Trek and Universal monster movies I could get my hands on. My love for the Dune universe grew in the 90s, with the books from Brian Herbert. Despite this, I would not read the first novel until 2017. Why, I am unsure. Since then I have dove as deep into the Dune universe as I can. I still have not finished the original series, due to a combination of work and school. Well, also after acquiring a copy of the encyclopedia, I decided I wanted to have the time to sit and read the series with that as my companion. Because if Dune does nothing else, it raises a lot of questions for the reader. Both in and out of the universe.

The Moral Labyrinth: A Journey Through “Crime and Punishment”
Reading "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky was a transformative experience for me, largely because it engages deeply with fundamental human questions—of morality, justice, and the internal conflicts that define us. Originally published in 1866, the novel plunges into the psyche of Raskolnikov, a young, impoverished student in St. Petersburg, who convinces himself that he is an extraordinary man, above conventional ethics and laws. This delusion drives him to murder an old pawnbroker, an act that becomes the catalyst for a grueling journey through guilt, torment, and eventual spiritual awakening.

Murder In The Family By Cara Hunter
So, I have a confession to make. I had not read a book in close to 10 years because I didn’t ever feel the need too. As soon as I left school, I put reading behind me and never looked back, until recently. I had some extra money, a suggestion for a book that was right down my alley from my boyfriend and went for it. I lost myself in this book, something I am not used to doing but very much enjoyed. This book had such a unique concept to it that I had no chance in resisting as soon as I opened the front cover and turned that first page, I was hooked.

Love and Spice
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD FOR A 58 YEAR OLD BOOK THAT HAS BEEN ADAPTED INTO TWO MOVIES AND ONE TV SERIES. Everything I needed to know about love I learned from Dune. Okay, I’m not serious about that. But I do find the depiction of love and romantic relationships in Dune to be quite fascinating, as it is not just different from most sci-fi, but most fiction in general.

The small town of Willowbrook
The small town of Willowbrook had always been a place where nothing much happened. It was the kind of town where everyone knew everyone else, and the most exciting event of the year was the annual pie-baking contest. But all of that was about to change.
