Dune...
From: Chuck
May 16
When I was a teenager, I joined
the Science Fiction Book Club.
I selected The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, (Short Stories)
The Hugo Winners (Novellas)
and the Foundation Trilogy (Asimov) as my 3 free books.
I soon ordered Dune.
I liked Dune, and I read
Dune Messiah as well.
I couldn't get through
Children of Dune...
It had become too removed
from the original.
My friend Richard, who was
living with us during his college
years, was anxious to read Dune,
and I had to hide it in my attic
to keep him from reading it first!
I liked Frank Herbert's Under Pressure, too... a suspense story
of a Nuclear Submarine with an
unknown spy on board.
Today was the first time that
I found a copy off Dune, in years.
Just think, America...
If the 90° pole shift of earth
happens, and America end up
where Mexico is now...
Then "Paul Atriedes" transition
from a Water World of Caladan to the desert planet of Arrakis...
Might be somewhat...
Prophetic.
