Dune: The most thought-provoking book I read (as a teenager)
Dune
I have a long-standing belief that there are only three issues of importance on a global scale:
a) Energy
b) Environment
c) Religion (religious fanaticism to be exact)
And they are very interrelated. Energy is something we all need, but we are consuming it in a manner that destroys the one thing which is more important, the environment.

Meet Circe. She’ll love you to death.
Back to the book. And so you finished the book, shivering cold with excitement in the middle of July. And here comes the big test: you start passing it around to people. Most likely you have some friends who read a lot, though that does not make them professional editors.
