With the movie due out later this year, now seems like a good time to read Dune!

It's no secret that Dune is a long novel so for this selection we'll be reading Dune over the course of 3 months.

Here's the schedule:

"A beginning is the time..." - "Why did they choose me for their abomination?" (May 5th-12th)
"How do we approach the study of Muad'Dib's father?" - "They have tried to take the life of my son!" (May 12th-19th)
"Over the exit of the Arrakeen landing field..." - "I like this Duke" (May 19th-26th)
"Greatness is a transitory experience." - "The tooth!" (May 26th-June 2nd)

"There should be a science of discontent" - "... saw the dark shapes of ornithopters above them." (June 2nd-9th)
"My father once told me..." - "How inadequate it appeared when measured against such creature as that worm." (June 9th-16th)
"We came from Caladan..." - "What a priceless thing is here for an outcast Duke!" (June 16th-23rd)
"The Fremen were supreme..." - "She is my enemy" (June 23rd-30th)
"The concept of progress..." - "...someday..." (June 30th-July 7th)

"Deep in the human unconscious..." - "And the storm was gathering" (July 7th-14th)
"When law and duty..." - "'All paths lead into darkness'" (July 14th-21st)
"And that day dawned..." - the end of the book (July 21st-28th)
