I've not read anything other that the original Dune. And that was a long time ago. When I was googling earlier to find out how long the first book was, most sites said there were 12 books in the series, so I went with that.

Except for God Emperor of Dune. It's longer than Dune, but definitely worth the read if you've read Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune. Everything after those three is really a different story based in the same universe.

That was a hard read for me back then - probably because I read the books in English, and as a kid, did only understand half of it.
But clearly in my top 3 not-so-fun to read books, with the Silmarillion (and a bit of the Two Towers, where they walk, and walk, and walk, and eventually walk), and the Foundation series.
I even found Ubik to be a more interesting read.
Maybe I should give it a go now that I know a couple more English words.

Another really hard, boring read, just because of the odd prose used, is Atlas Shrugged.

A zombie apocalypse would really surprise me, the assurance company's reaction though wouldn't.

I really could not be a Zombie : all that walking all the time, that would be too exhausting.

That sounds like, "Why we should take Santa Claus more seriously."

If you seriously want to take Santa more seriously, watch Rare Exports[^]. It is called a 'horror comedy', but it really is one of the deepest, most serious studies of Santa that I know of.

My development colleague is a strong proponent of getting it done cheap and dirty, and this style incurs a lot of technical debt.
Any tips on how you think I could address this point with him?

Insert a bug in one of his old apps and let him debug it.
