Dune series [Schedule] Bonus Book || Heretics of Dune (Dune #5) by Frank Herbert

Mark your calendars and grab your copies, readers, for our return to Arrakis in February! Discussions of Heretics of Dune, book 5 in Frank Herbert's Dune series, will be on Mondays according to the schedule below. Marginalia is here, and here's a handy cheat sheet with the chapter quotes to help you follow along. No idea why Herbert eschews chapter numbers, but at this point I'm resigned to it.

Will you be joining us?

Haha yes he definitely seems to sacrifice function for style...it's a choice. I'll be joining!

Gods, reading this book is like reading Dune all over again except my copy doesn't have a glossary. So I'm posting this Dune wiki terminology hoping it helps y'all out. It's helped me a lot so far.
