For those who want to know the uses of the appendix page then read this article. Others move on.
In my case, when I finished Dune by Frank Herbert, I noticed that there was an appendix section at the end. Upon noticing, I instantly started to read it. I wondered what all things could be jotted down there.
I have noticed many people who don’t read the appendix after finishing a book as they think it a waste of time.
But in the case of Dune, this is an astonishingly helpful part.
It includes the meaning of various terms used in Dune such as Kwisatz Haderach, Gom Jabbar, Kindjal, Muad’dib, Reverend Mother, and a lot of others.
Not knowing these terms would be a hindrance to your understanding of the story and in turn, you will not be satisfied. This is surely a basic tip to understand books better.
