Few fiction books changed my worldview as Dune did.
Weird, unique, foreign, and long thought to be unadaptable (we’ll see how this version lands. I’m cheering for you, Dennis!), Frank Herbert’s masterpiece twists your mind and your conceptions, forcing you to confront the uncomfortable.
After all, fear is the mind-killer.

The Lord of the Rings
When Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, art changed forever. Her transcendent smile's profoundness, ingenuity, and hitherto unseen qualities captivated humanity, from the greatest kings of Europe to her ten million yearly guests. Only one other popular work could rival her cultural and artistic impact — a tale concerning hobbits.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

Great summary! Great critique! I don't know how I didn't see this when the challenge was open. Funny enough, I wrote two articles on Dune for the BookClub challenge.
I really have GOT to read this!
This is one I haven’t read but I am curious about!
Oooo, now I gotta read this! Loved your review!
Love the subtitle for this critique. If the book is anything like the first movie then I agree that its weird and out there.
Something I definitely need to read. Loved the bonkers original film with Kyle McLachlan and Sting to name a few. Not seen the new version. Shall pop it onto my list lol. Nice critique, Matthew. It's true, its influence can't be disputed.
great critique
This is on my reading list.... my immensely long reading list lol
