I enjoyed Lord of the Rings. I haven't read Dune. I've never looked into the story.

That's interesting. I didn't know that. I know he wrote it like in his 40s or 50s I think it was.

Yes, it is definitely much easier to just avoid them altogether...

in the first edition of The Hobbit, the character Gollum freely bets the ring in the Riddles in the Dark chapter. he had to rewrite it to make everything work.

I really don't like his version of the story.

Fair enough

I know they're popular though. I've never been a fan, even though I hadn't read the books until last year and this. The books are excellent though.
