    To be honest I thought Dune wasn't very good.

    Grading on a curve, that's generous. (re: movie, not novel)

    Novel actually — Maw

    For sci-fi? It definitely stands out in that genre.

    I found the characters are mostly one dimensional and the writing sub-par, but it's nevertheless interesting in it's novelty, imagination, and by consequence, influence in the genre.

    A bit of a mouthful, language wise. But these things are aquired tastes, maybe I should have kept up with the style a little more to get used to it.

    I've put Chemistry completely on the back burner with respect to philosophy of science so I'm trying to mitigate my ignorance of this.

    Shot in the dark question here: anyone read/handled the 800 page Routledge paperback edition of Popper's Open Society? If so, at 800 pages for a paperback, would you recommend it or recommend looking for older split 2-volume editions?

    I have read the Open Society in two volumes. As it was published I think?

    You can always cut the 800 pages volume in two halves, if that helps.
