Weekly "what are you reading" Thread #57 :marseyreading:

To discuss your weekly readings of books, textbooks and papers.

I began "La Guerre de Cent Ans" :marseyvampirecrusader:by Georges Minois and "Fire & Blood" by :marseygeorgerrmartin:. So one cool real history book about two dynasties fighting (Plantagenet and Capetian cadet branches) with explanations of the economic and demographic context of 14th century England and France, and the other being fake history of House Targaryen up to the Dance of the Dragons and the reign of Aegon III.

Funny how the 100 years war is also centered around whether a king can inherit through a foid's line (England) or through male-only line (Salic Law).

Finished Dune

I liked it, once I got over all the "could tell an assassin with ill intent was hiding in the corner of the next room due to the change in air currents" stuff by accepting they were basically wizards.

Glad I didn't watch the movies first and ruin my ability to imagine the characters and settings how I want. I always try reading the book before any adaptation, I hate having my imagination biased.

Think I'm going to just go straight to the next one.

It's the "worst" one out of the series.

Mostly because everypony only talks about Dune, when it's such a small part of the actual storyline.

Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse are @hypernovasaiz's favorite by far from the original series.
