weird, I just saw a dune hardcover for $7.99 at borders the other day and thought my son is a good dune age now so I should get it for his birthday and then I tried to remember if I had read any of the sequels and all I could remember was the awesome cover of this one and then this thread reappeared

orig hardcover was cool too

I think I heard if you read past book 1, you really need at least 4 to get another complete story. Is that about right?

i read dune a year ago. i should probably read it again

Kyle Maclachlan looks a little bit like your Benson, tbh

ikr?

ok this looks like a gigantic turd upon which someone has lovingly crafted a sullen face

She pulled away her mask and moved her face to within a handsbreadth of his. A finger came up and touched one of the curled flaps of his cowl.

"Stroke it gently," he said.

Her hand obeyed not his voice but something from within her.

loooool

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

it is perhaps better that you die

in the innards

of a worm

where are those quotes from? I just read 1-4 and I don't remember those quotes at all!!

movie, dunebro

i'm going as my namesake for halloween

if you're prescient how come you keep fucking up? more like golden shower than golden path amirite?

He knows he's going to fuck up, fucking up is part of the path. That was always the downside of prescience - once you've seen it you have fixed it in place and have to live it. That's why Darwi Odrade tries not to use her Atreides prescience to sneak a peak in Chapterhouse.

not true! leto saw arafel and he made that impossible!

i am reading the book for the first time right now, o man

what your favorite parts?

so i just finished last night... i liked most of it? particularly liked all of the stuff about the bene gesserit training and mentats and stuff. jessica changing the water of life was p rad and alia is cool, but she is creepy as fuck

basically i have been lurching around the house croaking like sian phillips and scaring my boyfriend saying shit like

"they tried and died"

and

"there is a place.... terrifying to us..."

yeah the idea of mastering innate human potential as opposed to technological potential is i think the master stroke of the series

haha i don't remember those parts

i'm assuming the first is about men trying the water, the second is about the place where rev mothers can't look?

haha, yes and yes

also the term "pre-spice mass" strikes me a hilarious but idk why

i know what you mean, there is something subtly kooky about the whole liet kynes thing

like there's that whole scene where the harkonnens throw him out onto the sand over a pre-spice mass and he's having this ecological ephiphany but all i'm thinking is fart jokes

i wanted more explicit info about the spice orgies tbh

also i was left wishing i had a connect to sell me like a gram of spice, that shit sounds p good

it's just nutmeg, duh

smoke that shit w/ some banana peels son

also the term "pre-spice mass" strikes me a hilarious but idk why

I think of like, smegma, or ambergris

still haven't gone on to reread heretics/chapterhouse yet

you will!

YOU WILL!!!!

I've just re-read all six. It was a bit of a slog in places and I think he wastes some interesting characters by jumping forward millennia at a time between books but overall I think it's a wonderfully imaginative series.

yeah the idea of mastering innate human potential as opposed to technological potential is i think the master stroke of the series

otm - Mentat calculation, Bene Gesserit awareness, Truthsaying, etc. plus all the heightened physical abilities are all things that one could maybe believe would be possible were the human body and brain to be pushed to their full potential.

honing your pinky toe to killing strength in the digit mill

pretty sure frank herbert's mom or mother in law or exwife had the voice

I've never seen this...
