Science fiction is one of my favorite genres to read. Ever since getting introduced to the world of Sci Fi with Star Wars, Sci Fi gives you a glimpse of how exciting life could be.
- Dune by Frank Herbert
Dune is a masterpiece of the science fiction genre. Set on the deserts of Arrakis, people seek control of a drug called spice.

Filled with action, politics, and oh gigantic worms, Dune is a must read.
