Thank you Craig for the nice comment on me completing goals and I will answer you questions for you. First, I will try my best to explain what Dune is like in terms of plot, but it can be very complex. The plot is mainly about a boy named Paul and how he like becomes the legendary Maud'D Bib, which is like a guy who has powers that are really rare and everyone has been waiting for him to arrive, but their are so many political and survival obstacles that he has to deal with. Second, I found Fahrenheit 451 theme pretty awesome and I am huge fan on how Ray Bradbury writes, so everyone once a while I try to grab a book of his that I haven't read before. Finally, I found A Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy to be amusing in the humor, creative in world building, and the characters are so much fun to read about.

Also, I hope that you have completed you goal for this year Craig.

Tytti | 58 comments How did you find Outlander? I read it earlier this fall and prefer the series because it gives more air time to other characters, I think. I got bored during the second half of the book and struggled to finish it, which I guess is completely opposite to what a majority of readers think.

I have gotten Outlander as a birthday present for my 18th birthday, so I have no idea where my Dad got it, but I guess he got it at the book store. Also, my opinion on the second half is completly different from yours, but I do appreciate reading your opinion on this book series.

Tytti | 58 comments Hah, I meant "how did you find it" as in how did you like it. But anyway you answered me already. It's interesting, though, because Outlander probably wouldn't be my first choice for a 18-year-old boy... But I guess I am more interested in politics and such.

Oh, that is what you meant and I will answer that question. I actually enjoyed it despite the fact that I wouldn't imagine many guys reading this story as a eighteen year old what so ever. Also, I am sucker when it comes to love stories that combine other genres I love like science fiction and fantasy.

Tytti | 58 comments Well I am not that interested in romance (or fantasy) so it's not really my kind of a book, a bit of it is nice but not too much. I guess I felt that the historical side of it was lacking.
