I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

Frank Herbert's Dune

Very good decision, congratulations! In my opinion the best space epic ever written. I recommend reading all six Dune books by Frank Herbert, they are different from each other but all are great writing. I also recommend to ignore all "Dune" books by Brian Herbert. They are so bad I will forever regret every cent I spent on them.

Oh, I just remembered that after reading the books you have to check this out: [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1935156/](Jodorowsky's Dune)
