There was just something about Dune that didn't grasp me. And I plan on going back to read the LotR books, so hold your tongue!  |

I didn't like LotR, but I did like Dune, even though many parts of it were not very suiting to my tastes.

Everyone should read Dune. Period. ----> . <----
Its just awesome. I like all the philosophy in them. And the "wheels within wheels within wheels" storyline. Its gooooood stuff.

yeah, that's what atracted me to it. I didn't like the Sci-fi universe very much, with the style of governments, technology, and whatnot, however, the storyline is just awesome.

I thought the technology was alright. Its a cool idea, how anything close to a 'thinking machine' is destroyed. I like the mentat idea the best tho, cause i think humans really could train themselves to be 'human computers.'

Heather's poems are good, in my point of view.  |

Uh huh... It was, at least, within the original thread topic this time. Although...ya think she's trying to suck up for something?  In any case, I don't remember too much about the book except for the feelings I got for the first couple of chapters. It just turned me off. I mihgt give it a second chance, if I can find my copy. |

Um... right.... well just someone kindly lent the first Dune book to me, (Thanks Al ;D) so i guess i will be able to fill in my view of the book. (probably after this thread changes subjects, but the way the world works.)
