Last months I’ve been lost in #Dune books written by Frank Herbert.

And I can’t remember any other books that made me be gone in their Universes for so long with the “can’t get enough” feeling.

And one thing that impressed me most is his way of writing - unbelievable rich narrative contains philosophical, political, religious, scientific and lots of other terms and definitions.

What you see is my own ‘need to remember’ deck)

I started to make notes of all new words to me, not only google it to understand context, but to make my brain remember it.

My regret I didn’t started it from the very first book, here is the list from last 3 books.

Next step, I’m gonna translate it in English to make me know them in both languages💪

And speaking about #Dune book’s itself I keep my fingers crossed for the extension of the Dune story made by Frank’s children after his death, will be no less dignified than first 6 books🤞

Will see)

P.S. I will be grateful if you share any books from you wow-list,

Hey my cozy book worm 📚🐛

Omg I have so many books that just sucked me in where I felt I could not get enough 📚

- ‘The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald

- ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Jane Austen

- ‘Sense and Sensibility’ by Jane Austen

- ‘Anna Karenina’ by Leo Tolstoy

- ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee

- ‘Little Women’ by Louisa May Alcott

- ‘1984’ by George Orwell

- ‘The Da Vinci Code’ by Dan Brown

- ‘Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind’ by Yuval Noah Harari

- ‘The Hunger Games’ by Suzanne Collins

- ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ by Stieg Larsson

- …

But I actually had a board like this when I read Stephen Hawking's 'A Brief History of Time'. It was in English and I speak English quite well 😂, but really his vocabulary in physics was almost incomprehensible 😅

Honestly my list of books that had me sucked in like that could go on and on (you know I like lists 😅). My “wow list” goes all the way back into my childhood, but the one book that I can say was WOW, had me sucked in, and changed my adult life was, ‘The Bitcoin Standard’ by nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak

I’ve heard about them all, even started one (Sapiens), but didn’t finish, may be it wasn’t the time. But I still look on it from time to time, guess your not is a punch for me to finish it finally hehe)))

But your words about Bitcoin standard made this choice harder)))😎

This is an interesting list. Varied, mostly classics. Excellent.

Duchess 2y ago

I really like classic literature 😍✨

The Beave 2y ago

Have you read any Dumas?

Duchess 2y ago

‘The Three Musketeers’

The Beave 2y ago

My favorite of his is The Count of Monte Christo! I'm actually not sure if I read The Three Musketeers. Hmmm....

Duchess 2y ago

Actually this is one I need to read. I know it’s a good one, just have not read it yet.

The Beave 2y ago

It's one of my all time favorite novels. I'm not sure if that or The Brothers Karamazov is better...

Duchess 2y ago

Aaahhh ‘Brothers Karamazov’ is on my list as well!!! 😍😍😍

The Beave 2y ago

Good, good.

Darina 2y ago

You are my level PRO😎👌🏼

I think I will have to come back to the all classic to try it with the new adult head😂

Cause all these were touched by me only in my high school years..

Duchess 2y ago

Yeah, they were mostly in high school for me as well. It’s hard to find time as an adult to read as much as I did in school because now all I want to read is about bitcoin 😂
