DUNE is the seminal work in science fiction. I first read the original not long after its initial release and like our good friend "slipknot dude" was put off by the constant referal to the glossary. After several shallow attempts I put the book down for two years and then once again on the advice of a good friend I tried again, "This time," he said,"just read it." "Don't stop, don't check, just read." then, as if by some unknown force, I understood. The beauty, the majesty, the sheer span of this awe inspiring book.If you want to understand what is happening in the middle east today and why, read DUNE.
