Fun read. Left me thinking about the symbolism about the book long after reading it. Looking forward to the movie!

I just might be a potterhead now.

“Nature's beauteous form
Contains a lovely essence
Called by some - decay.
By this lovey presence
New life finds its way.
Tears shed silently
Are but water of the soul:
They bring new life
To the pain of being -
A separation from that seeing
Which death makes whole.”
- Ancient song, Leto II, Children of Dune

Favorite quote: “Man cannot be freed by the same injustice that enslaved it.”

I have gained two new favorite essays by C.S. Lewis: “The Inner Circle” & “On Membership”. I have never heard these topics extrapolated in such a way before. The introduction also gives a glimpse on what kind of person Lewis was like in his daily life, which I found to be quite nice.
