Always so fun to hear about what you’ve been reading! Thanks for the video, Debs!

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@MysteryandMayhem-gr7nn]

That's a lot of stuff goin' on, Debs! Thanks for the update.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

I do like to keep myself occupied. Thanks for popping by 😊

Summer has (finally) arrived! Very productive 10 days or so. Little House...for June on the Range. Excellent idea.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Thanks. I’m loving the westerns but I thought it would be a good reason to finish the series😊

[@ShawnDStandfast]

"The Golden Rhinoceros" is a fantastic book. The period covered is so fascinating.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Loved it. Just noticed I called it The Golden Rinosaur 😂😂. I’m such an idiot 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@ShawnDStandfast]

@@RaynorReadsStuff lol I didn't notice you calling it that. Probably because I knew the book and filled in what I wanted to hear.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

@@ShawnDStandfast I should have kept my mouth shut 🤐

I hadn't heard of Dune in June! Dune is my husband's favorite book of all-time! We watched the first 2 movies and enjoyed them. I've heard Ulysses is a very challenging read. Oooh, Reportage sounds very intriguing. Savage Summit sounds fascinating. I read Lonesome Dove for June on the Range - outstanding novel! An epic story, beautifully written, with great characters. Well worth the month it took me to read it!

[@GenreBooks23]

Imber! Used to live not too far from there, even less nightlife than the town I grew up in..

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

lol. It’s such a weird place to visit. But I enjoyed having a old around 😊

[@battybibliophile-Clare]

I'm reading Dune to, but a bit behind at the moment. I have the first two trilogies. I read Joyce last year. Lovely to see you doing a video.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Thanks Clare 😊 What did you think of Ulysses? Am I being really dense?

[@battybibliophile-Clare]

@@RaynorReadsStuff certainly not, it's a book you need a primer with. I used Delaney's. I also watched Ben McEvoy's videos. The problem is mainly establishing who is talking , and identifying the allusions. There are some from Greek and Latin, Italian and almost every Wester Canon book. Good luck !

[@StormReads]

You read a lot of books! I read Dune a few years ago and it went over my head lol. I can't remember anything but sand worms. 🤪

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Gotta love a good sandworm scene 😂. Thanks Storm 😊

[@AaronReadABook]

Dune gets better every time I read it. I've never read past Messiah for some reason, but they get weirder and weirder apparently. Maybe Dune seems accessible compared to Ulysses 😂

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Haha. It is definitely more accessible than Ulysses! I’m really enjoying this trilogy. Plan to pick up the second trilogy at some point too 😊

[@revenantreads]

I’ve had my eye on that Golden Rhinoceros book. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Did you notice I called it The Golden Rhinosaur? I’m such an idiot 😂. It was really interesting though. I’ve not read anything before from that time period in Africa

[@revenantreads]

@@RaynorReadsStuff I did and it gave me a good laugh 🤣
