What's great, though, is that his first eight posts will be about Jacurutu. That will drive Freakin Meow batshit.Freakzilla wrote:I know it's contrary to our cause to refer people there but I had a feeling he'd be better off.

Hi.blingdogg wrote:Hello guys,
My question for this thread, is if I can read the new prequels/sequels by Anderson and Brian Herbert without a full knowledge of the original books by Frank?
I know I found Messiah a downer, and I did not get most of GEoD or beyond the first time round. But I always got the feeling that I was being leveled with; Frank never talked down to me and he had stuff to tell me - and what I did get was fascinating and rich. If this rings a bell, regarding how you felt reading Dune, then I'd recommend steering clear!blingdogg wrote:I loved the original Dune, but found the following books too dense to get into.
It's like Omphs says, "If he was here to discuss Dune, he sure as hell picked a dumb way to do it."Freakzilla wrote:This one is bound for the Bad Examples forum for "How Not To Introduce Yourself at Jacurutu".
No offense, Bling.
depriving me of : Why not ? that's how they were written ....I just want to know if the Anderson/Brian H books can be read without full knowledge of the original books.
my first thought was : good fucking luck with that ... this is the only fucking Dune forum on the net ...I'll try asking this on a different forum.

well ... maybe you should've read some of this board first before jumping in with the dumbass just laying
out there like a dead deer on the highway ... huh ... a pack of vultures descended from nowhere, you say ?

Yeah sorry about that but I could not let it pass now could I?
then:my first thought was : good fucking luck with that ... this is the only fucking Dune forum on the net ...I'll try asking this on a different forum.
the rest are dead, aborted or stillborn, or owned by Corporate Dune ... I don't think Merritt will advise to
not read them ... he'll throw in a "but you should read Frank, too, I know it's real difficult to understand,
but you should atleast try"; then he'll say something like Spanky McDune being better than no
Dune at all ...
over/under on Merritt realizing he's got a new member in the queue and actually activating the account ?
'bout a week, maybe ?
and:
huh. "attacked" you say ?
