Hmm, I know I used to read a ton of books back in the day and still have some Dune books I need to catch up on (the newer series). I enjoy reading especially in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy space myself just hard to find the time lately.
You know, Ive never read Dune, although Ive had a copy on my shelves for years. Ive always been a bit of a sci-fi buff, but prefer the more social stuff to hard sci-fi. :) I also have a soft spot for old-school dystopian fiction.
