yeah, looks like i'm the slow one ... ;) can you recommend anything good you've read recently?

I read Dune, and it was really weird and nifty. (The above quote is one of my all time favorite affirmations, BTW.)

Then I tried to read Children of Dune, and it was just weird and I couldn't get into it. I think I'd appreciate the Cliff Notes version more than the actual book...

Yeah, it gets weird and hard to follow sometimes, but I notice it usually comes at the beginning of the books - Herbert will introduce a lot of things at once from his sci-fi world, and then things will mellow out a bit. I recommend God Emperor of Dune, it was really trippy.

Hey Cassie! Yeah I can totally see Shane's obsession, it's my obsession too. Frank Herbert's a genius. So what are you up to? Are you still living in western MA? Hopefully you'll be around next month, I'll be back in the States from late August to late September, we should definitely hang out with the Stubommer.
