Yeah I get it and I dont deny that. Having never read the books though, I find the movies to be somewhat difficult to follow and with the exception (probably) of the first movie, I simply dont find them memorable or ranked high in my own mind as something I want to re watch.

    I highly recommend the books, if you can find time to read. I know a lot of people have trouble settling down to read these days (myself included). I wish I read more!

    Time to read yes

    For me its the attention amd focused I've got time, just not tje attention and motivation (I fantasize but procrastinate)

    I have been the 3rd or 4th dune book for about a year now (I have been on the last 50 pages or so for probably 6 montjs)

    I have resd the first half or so of Don Quixote about 3 times

    I habe now started to read Herodotus Histories for the 2nd time (didn't finish last time stopped around half way thru Book 2)

    And I made the (fortuitous?) mistake of starting Hitch hikers Guide to the galaxy twice now and I did really enjoy it right off the bat, so that one might rise to the top of the list lol

    I have also begun reading Amadis of Gaul due to interest in Medeival Chicalry novels and I've yet to finish King Arthur (Mark Twain) whereat I only have maybe 100pgs left. (Not a good book, TBH but it gives some background to Quixote as does Amadis of Gaul

    LOTR is definitely also in this ridiculous list of want to reads. As is

    Divine Comedy Aeneid Decameron Pilgrims Progress Infinite Jest Grapes of Wrath Something by Ishiguro Metamorphosis etc etc etc

    I should make a post about this so.I can properly.vent instead of 'hijacking comments'
