Anyone ever read Dune? I watched the recent movie over the weekend and enjoyed it...did some googling and apparently the book/series is kind of a big deal in 20th century sci-fi. I picked up the book from my local library today and started reading and have enjoyed it so far.

Is anyone reading the second era of Mistborn? Book 4 is out today. The time period is a nice change of pace and adds some fun wrinkles compared to the rest of Sanderson’s Cosmere books.
None that I would recommend
And Then There Were No Potatoes is a good read.
Just used the Libby app to check out the audiobook of GRANT by Ron Chernow. Great stuff so far. Very good reader.
THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA, by Ernest Hemmingway. Who knew this thing was so short? Could probably read the entire book in an hour. What an easy American literary classic to knock off your bucket list.

nope. for whatever reason, he's been a blind spot for me.
