Chapter listings for reading groups?

Post by SandChigger »

Freak, do you have a list of chapters for each book?

On the concordance wiki, I started setting up something of the sort for use in listing page numbers across different editions. A numbered list with the title (when given) or the first three or four words of the chapter epigraph is what I have in mind.

If you don't have something like this already, how about a few of us divvy up the books and do it?

No, that's why I was posting the epigraphs for each.

Might want to settle on an edition though, some have prologues and some don't.

That is not going to work too well. People bought these books sometimes decades ago and have hung on to them. Pagination is all different between the editions now. Maybe we could list the big four or five?

I didn't mean to include page information HERE initially; that was just a mention of something I started working on on the wiki.

Here's what I was thinking, with or without links to the appropriate threads here:

Book I - Dune

Ch 1 A beginning is the time
Ch 2 To attempt an understanding
Ch 3 Thus spoke St Alia-of-the-Knife
Ch 4 You have read that Muad'Dib
Ch 5 YUEH (yü'?), Wellington
Ch 6 How do we approach
Ch 7 With the Lady Jessica
Ch 8 Yueh! Yueh! Yueh!
Ch 9 Many have marked the speed
Ch 10 What had the Lady Jessica
Ch 11 It is said that the Duke Leto
Ch 12 Over the exit of the Arrakeen
Ch 13 On that first day
Ch 14 There is probably no more
Ch 15 My father, the Padishah Emperor
Ch 16 Greatness is a transitory experience
Ch 17 There is no escape
Ch 18 Do you wrestle with dreams?
Ch 19 There should be a science
Ch 20 Arrakis teaches the attitude
Ch 21 There is a legend
Ch 22 O Seas of Caladan

Book II - Muad'Dib

Ch 23 When my father the Padishah
Ch 24 My father once told me
Ch 25 Muad'Dib could indeed
Ch 26 What do you despise?
Ch 27 At the age of fifteen
Ch 28 We came from Caladan
Ch 29 Family life of the Royal
Ch 30 This Fremen religious
Ch 31 Prophecy and prescience
Ch 32 The Fremen were supreme
Ch 33 My father, the Padishah
Ch 34 God created Arrakis to
Ch 35 The concept of progress
Ch 36 Muad'Dib tells us
Ch 37 The hands move, the lips move

Book III - The Prophet

Ch 38 No woman, no man, no child ever
Ch 39 Deep in the human unconsciousness
Ch 40 There is in all things a pattern
Ch 41 Control the coinage and the courts
Ch 42 You cannot avoid the interplay
Ch 43 When law and duty are one, united
Ch 44 How often it is that the angry man
Ch 45 And it came to pass in the third year
Ch 46 And that day dawned when Arrakis lay
Ch 47 And Muad'Dib stood before them
Ch 48 He was warrior and mystic

Appendices

Appendix I - The Ecology of Dune
Appendix II - The Religion of Dune
Appendix III - Report on Bene Gesserit Motives and Purposes
Appendix IV - The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses)

Would y'all consider the "Death Cell Interview with Bronso of Ix" in DM to be a prologue or Chapter 1?

Prologue. Makes it easier because, IIRC, that is not in the UK edition. Or maybe its the early American edition its not in. Hmmmmm.

OK, prologues will be "Chapter 00".

Would anyone be willing to go through the reading group summaries and make sure the chapters are numbered correctly?

I started copying CH:D from T(A)U and found that I had skipped chapters two and three and all the following chapters were missnumbered.

Thanks

Not sure what you are asking here, Freak. Are you asking someone to make sure that the chapter numbers you have assigned to CH:D are correct? They may be off in your list? Or all books?

All of them need to be checked. I haven't noticed any errors in the other book but it would be good to make sure.

What did Frank have against chapter numbers? :x

I'd like to use 'Chigger's idea for a chapter index sticky for each book but I've got to be sure their correct.

Maybe we can get a few more to volunteer to do one book each?

I never rechecked my list above, sorry.

I prepared it by going through a New English Library paperback copy and jotting down each section (chapter) beginning with an epigraph.

I might try to do some of the other books this week, if no one else gets froggy....
