When I was browsing through Hive Book Club, I read a post from a user that showed their book collection. I left a comment because that person said about buying a book a month. And that person inspired me to do this challenge, one book a month. If you read this, thank you! unfortunately, I can't find the username because our interaction buried from comments that I left last week.

I am someone who always buy books in bulk and then not buying until I feel like it. I also moved a lot in the past as well which made me rely more on digital library. But even I moved a lot, I still bring one or two books with me. These books helped me curb my boredom from waiting flights or train. It's also safer instead of having to pull out my laptop and my phone.

Fun story, once I left a book in a hostel and even after a month, I could still find the book. I even made a new contact because they said they read the book and read my contact information. I always leave a note about my contact information in my books just in case I leave it somewhere and hoping they are kind enough to return it. Now that I don't see myself moving anywhere anytime sooner, I decided to start book collecting again.

It's extremely hard for me to just buy one. However, I mentioned that I wanted to train my delayed gratification. So, I have to skip the other books. One of the books in my wishlist is "The origin" by Dan Brown.

Why Dune by Frank Herbert?

Not only that it's said to be one of the best selling science fiction, I am compelled to read because I read many interesting thesis on it. From religion to politics, this book seems to provide interesting topic for a thesis. I discovered this book two years ago after having my science-fiction class but that time, I couldn't really afford buying too many books and my interests were different. Then, recently, I was reading Age of Arrakis :State Apparatuses and Foucauldian Biopolitics in FrankHerbert’sDune it was a thought-provoking read that made me want to get this book among many in my selection.

I have read a few pages and I was engrossed. Herbert tried to capture the reader's attention by providing the setting of the place in the first page. " It was a warm night"..... if you are the type of reader who picture the story inside your head, you'll easily imagine the type of the setting and the world. That type of illustration made me want to explore " What else is there?"

Did you ever read this one? What was your impression?
