When I first read it six years ago, I thought it was the worst book in the series because it had less action than all the others.
Less action than Dune Messiah? A laughable claim! Dune Messiah can basically be summarized in three points:
- the conspiracy movement conspiring
- Muad'dib agonizing over the tragedy of prescience
- Bijaz being awesome
God Emperor of Dune is a Stallone movie compared to that 
EDIT: As for Heretics of Dune, I hated that too, although I guess for completely different reasons. I like to pretend that the series ends with God Emperor.

So currently had to restart Doctor Zhivago, because I had forgotten to keep a list of characters (AS YOU MUST ALWAYS DO IN RUSSIAN REALIST NOVELS) and forgot what was going on around page 80.

Hello there. It's very interesting book that will explode your mind.
It's book calls - The Crucible by Arthur Miller. Short summary - The play is a fictionalized version of the trials and tells the story of a group of young Salem women who falsely accuse other villagers of witchcraft. The accusations and ensuing trials push the village into a hysteria that results in the arrest of two hundred villagers and the deaths of nineteen.
Yes, you can watch the film - The Crucible. But read this [url=https://freebooksummary.com/poem-we-grow-accustomed-to-the-dark-analysis-essay]article[/url] - [url=freebooksummary.com/poem-we-grow-accustomed-to-the-dark-analysis-essay]Here[/url] And you will understand that is not worth it. Better is book.

Ok I haven't found other thread.. I remember some thread, but wasn't found.. So soon I will read The Visual Dictionary of Sex.. I've a several sex books.. Those are dictionary, lightning, information, also education. Not hard-core.. Useless for me! I also give growing amounts from year to year for SWB.. A good job, when usually those disappear! An example toheroes no longer.. Then over thousand words, I will start a SWB..
Other books I like evolution, esp. C. Darwin.., etc also nature and geography.. Now no more.. If you talk about books, I will tell more books..

DH Lawrence was banned in the 1960’s. It is quite innocent by today’s standards.

If you want to look at forbidden books don't miss "Voyage au bout de la nuit" from Ferdinand Céline, the best fiction book I've ever read.
