Hello.
I became a dune fan rather late in life (20 years old). Embarrassingly enough, I saw the films before I read the books.
Usually, it is the opposite for me. But unfortunately the Dune books are not so popular here in Sweden.
It is a small apology but what can i say?
When I had read the first book I was trapped. I continued to read the other Dune books
until I came upon "the others"... Talk about disappointment. After a discussion with a person who liked the new books,
I decided to get an account here among people who think like me.

Welcome, sounds like you had roughly the same experience with Dune that I did.

there's no shame - what so ever - in starting late on Dune.

Welcome. Looking forward to getting to know you.
These guys and gals know their Dune. You have found a fount of wisdom here. Along with a spring of ..
.. but you'll discover that part out later.
Hang on tight and enjoy the ride.

En annan svensk! Trevligt, trevligt.
I'm the exact same as you by the way, I first saw the Dune film in when I was 18, and got hooked after I saw the miniseries as well. Still working my way through the first book.
I think you'll like it here.
Anyway, welcome.
P.S. kom ihåg att rädsla är sinnesdödaren.

I have. He should be back in a few weeks. I don't think he would want you worrying about him, Eyes. He is doing fine, and I know for a fact he cannot wait to get back online here. I asked him to give me a heads up if its going to take any longer.
