Welcome back! Over the next six weeks, or three episodes of the podcast, we’ll be reading – and librarianing the heck out of – the first book in Frank Herbert’s epic Sci-Fi series, “Dune.” We chose “Dune” in part because it’s getting a lot of buzz, first-reads, and rereads this year, due to the new feature film coming out in 2021.
In part one, Megan can’t pronounce any of the made-up names, Pete reminisces about his dad reading “Dune” when he was a kid, and Jenny muses on Cold War politics.
Charlotte and Megan sat down with Pete to talk about "Ayiti," Roxane Gay's first volume of short stories.
Originally published in 2011, it was re-released in 2018.
We have a Big Book Club Podcast Facebook group and a Goodreads group, or share your thoughts with the hashtag #BigBookPodcast.
