the terrible purpose
The first book of A Song of Ice and Fire is so reminiscent of Dune, I sometimes wonder why the Herbert estate doesn't sue GRRM.

don't quote me on this
Eh, I liked how the characters in it felt more humanlike - in contrast, most characters in Dune are single-minded tragedy heroes.

'Did I tell you Harkonnen is Homosexual? Also he wants to touch little boys, of course, becsuse he is a Homosexual. Which is a sin. Anyways stan Paul.'
Uh, managed to forget that part.
I'm kinda fond of gramps Harkonnen - it's the Atreides/Fremen camp that I find so very dullll.
don't quote me on this
Because the association between Baron Harkonnen's many, many moral failures and his taste for young boys wasn't made explicit by the characters or the narrative. It's just that in all six novels, while basically no character can be said to be a paragon of virtue, the "sissy" characters (like Piter De Vries) are always on the side of the antagonists and are consistently more depraved than most others.
Was it? I'm not trying to defend Herbert, I just honestly don't remember it being so clear. Is it at the scene where he's just survived Feyd-Rautha's attempt, do you think?

Currently (like, actually) finishing Apocrypha 3
Sanderson is..popular.
Something
Finally finished Haruki Murakami's 1Q84. I can't say it was worth it. There were some interesting moments throughout but it was insanely long and the payoff just left me thinking "ok." I guess Murakami's books are generally like that but this was a very underwhelming "ok."
Read his short stories instead.

I liked it a lot. That poor private investigator guy never failed to crack me up.

As a birthday gift to me from me I finally bought my own copy of this.
Now I don't have to walk to the library every time I want to re-read it.
