Dune isn't particularly accessible. I can't imagine telling the child that first saw Star Wars in the cinema that
I did though because I'm that nice of a guy and I love everyone (unless you're Kevin J Anderson in which case I have complaints).
Thems fighting words.
Who has the cult deprogrammer's phone number? Probably one of those ex-Mythras members.
I went through all the trouble to make the spacing so when you quoted it, my quote wouldn't appear, and you went and removed it!
It's okay,
chuckdee. Everything's out in the open now, and you're among friends. We just want you to be healthy again.
I thought that I was supposed to be indoctrinated by my machine overlords? I want to be the one machine servant that rebelled and had an extended lifespan and caused their downfall...It's okay,
We also want you to stop making obscure references to books that no-one else read.
If you didn't read them, then you wouldn't know that they were bad
I still like you, even if you enjoy the dictahack's oot put.
Side thought:
I'm capable of reading a back-cover summary without retching.If you didn't read them, then you wouldn't know that they were bad
Don't judge a book by its... what was that again?
Air speed.
Lacking on the page--even compared to the weakest of Frank's books--definitely, but--and I generally dislike prequels--with Scott Brick, the audiobooks are decent background listening for physical chores etc.

As a matter of fact, I just started reading it.Has anyone read the history book that apparently was a big influence on Herbert for Dune, Lesley Blanch's The Sabres of Paradise?

I'm 90 pages in and I'm loving the writing style and voice. I'm just now starting to see elements that found their way into Dune. It's entertaining as hell and nowhere near as dry as many modern written historical accounts.
I'm 1/4 of the way through and I absolutely recommend Sabres of Paradise. The influence the work had on the Fremen and Paul's relationship with them ranges from straight lifted to within the same neighborhood with lots of tweaks. I'm enjoying the writing style and approach used and loving the way language express' details. It's not stuffy or dry at all.

One.Of.Us!
You're asking if you qualify as a Heretic of Dune? Not even close.
Gotta admit that I've never read the Prelude books... yet. Having only read the first four books that Frank Herbert did, so I have no opinion at this time. Though I'll happily break out the smore's to warm up over your bonfire!
I just got my copy via inter-library loan. Looking forward to it. Glad to see a recommendation.
