Dune by Frank Herbert is a 793 pg (Story only)/878 pg (including 4 Appendix’s).  This is a science fiction classic, originally published in 1965.

This book was absolutely a delicious book to read.  I’m not even close to a fast reader and I read this in 2 days.  From the start, you are hooked and I just didn’t want to put it down.  The story is great.  If you have seen the movies, then the story line is the same.  However, many of the details really change the meaning of the story.  The ending is different from the movies.  Religion and politics play deep in the book.  It’s the depth of the book that makes it wonderful.  I would absolutely recommend this to any reader.  Currently, I’m asking myself “why didn’t I read this when I was younger”.
