Why do people claim this is good sci-fi?

When does it get good? Does Paul actually develop a personality?

>"The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character was afraid, the author wrote instead that the character "swallowed in a dry throat." I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Herbert's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that he has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Dune by the same Ernest Cline. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Dune at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Ernest Cline." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Dune" you are, in fact, trained to read Ernest Cline.

Why do plebs consider this literature?

What does /lit/ think of Dune?

Finally got around to dune and quite liked it. first book I read and completed in 2 years after I finally got a job.

are the others worth reading?

Why does everyone want to adapt this book to film and always fail miserably?

Recently discovered this book. I have heard good things about it. Is it worth reading?

Bout to dive into Dune

>it's a forced exposition through dialuge episode

What is this garbage? All I'm reading is techno-babble and Muslim fellating.

I've recently gotten into Sci-Fi but I also want to get into Fantasy too, my absolute favourite is pic related.

I really like Swords and Sorcery stuff like 70s Dark Horse Conan or Dungeons and Dragons, is Dragonlance a good first choice for me based on that?

Sup /lit/,

I'm incredibly fond of sci-fi but now I'm also trying to get into fantasy.

I've tried the Kingkiller Chronice but I didn't like it, should I try Dragonlance?
What other suggestions does /lit/ have?

If you aren't a retard.

What are some books that are good, despite having one of the worst/weirdest/most farfetched/ridiculous plots imaginable?
