Obviously, the best book I read this month was Dune. However, I have read it a lot of times, so I did briefly agonise about whether it should be BOTM again. And, had I a standout alternative, I might have gone there. But I didn't. Honourable mention for Rednecks and Bluenecks which had a lovely turn of phrase, as well as fascinating context on the Iraq political controversy. I dread to think what the current analysis would look like. I also enjoyed Sanderson, but it was a little too fond of the twist at the end. I did really enjoy Fitzgerald - I think her historical novels are excellently imagined and conceived. However, Dune is Dune.
I watched it because of the film. It's better than the film, though I thought they did a good job with it this time.
