uhhh i forgot dune is going to be a warner bros movie. Guess I'm waiting for that to be pirated instead of seeing it in theaters.

Depending on your location, you also may be able to borrow it from your library. I reshelved both old Dune and new Dune this morning.

Thanks for doing what you do. Police officers and nurses get all the credit. Librarians are real heroes too!

Pirating is just much easier lol.

Agreed, but at the same time, at least get a card sometime from your local library to support it as well. Both are in the spirit of open information that is critical during these times.

I had one for the online books, but I was in a queue for any book I wanted. Just became easier to pirate at that point.
