Brian Herbert (his son) went on to cowrite (not sure of the name of the other author) the "Dune: House Trilogy" which is: House Arteides House Harkonnen House Corinno and currently doing a trilogy which so far is: The Butlerian Jihad The Machine Crusade (i suppose these are also prequels, or rather "History of Dune", something like that.) |

They've hinted at a time where humans were enslaved by other humans who controlled powerful machines, it would be interesting to read a book about that.
I'm going to read a little Dune before bed. Gnight.

Aw, too bad. Maybe I should stick with Frank Herbert originals. Or are some of the ones he wasn't the sole author of good?

Dune better be good, 'cause now I've spent some of my hard-earned and scarse money on the first one, solely because of all your praise, BoP.

BoP, help me out here; I'm wondering where to place my self-made Muad'Dib altar: in the middle of my room or in front of my bed. Or perhaps make an extra room where I can place it?
Am also struggling with the idea of wheather to make a mouse-doll and place it on the altar or buying a living mouse...

Well, the obvious place would be at the end of the bed, since that's the last place you see before you go to sleep, and the first thing you see when you wake up. However, if it's size (as proportional to how much you liked it) that you want to go for, then I'd recommend buying a mansion, and putting shrines every where. As for the mouse, I guess I'd recommend getting a real-live one, and gluing bigger ears on it or something. But you know, the problem with a living mouse is that you've got to give it the run of the place, and they leave pee-trails, so maybe you should consider just getting a mouse-doll. But then, if you were genuinely worshipping Paul, maybe you wouldn't mind the pee-trails? Or maybe you could compromise, and just pee on the doll, so it could smell like a real mouse....
edit: Nice location. Perhaps you could just wait for the Lions of Kenya to pee on your doll?

How about getting a real mouse to pee on the doll? Or perhaps I'll just drop the whole mouse-thingy and buy a
maker (could live in the garden, I'll just need a few bags of sand). I can ask him 'cause here comes the lion! *is eaten*

I just finished it a few days ago. The ending was rather "flat" I should say.

LOL! I don't think you get what I mean by "flat." What I mean by flat, it the way it ends: the last sentence makes it look like there's another page or more. It's like he didn't finish, but as my friend said, it's probably a lead up to a sequel. What is the next sequel, anyway?

Paul doesn't marry Chani!!! They love each other! They have a child! What the @^%$#$%!? Why didn't you put that in spoilers!? I love Chani, and I'm not done the first book yet, so thanks a lot.
Oh well... now I'm more prepared for the heartbreak. Who's this Irulan chickie anyway? I know she's come into the story already... I'll just have to go read more.
