i also love the dune series, but rating the books individually would make this page pretty busy. god emperor of dune is probably the best one, though. i have been really enjoying politics and history books lately, expanding my general understanding of political history. i also read quite a few tech books, especially those published by pragmatic programmers, no-starch press, and independant publishers. i tend not to track these ones though, because they are a bit work-focused. if you want to talk about any of these books or any related books you think i might like, please do reach out. i love to talk about reading!
