After you put a good science fiction or fantasy book down, it's hard not to just gush about it. The Rowayton Library Sci/Fi and Fantasy Book Club is here to provide an outlet to do just that! Every month, we read a selected longtime classic or overlooked gem, and then meet up in person at the library to discuss it.
This month's selection is an all time classic, Dune! Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the “spice” melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness. When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul’s family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than he could ever have imagined.
A genre-defining intersection of science fiction and fantasy concepts that sucks you right into the world and characters.
Copies of Dune are available at the library or through Hoopla if needed. Refreshments will be provided. Register here to reserve a spot!
