I am an avid reader and I read every type of book, not only science fiction, also classical literature, essays, history, etc. This book is, no doubt, a classic, not only of the science fiction genre but in the more general sense.
To this day I still recite the Bene Gesserit Fear litany when I am in stress and I need to calm down and relax. (less)
