DUNE DISCUSSION FORUM FOR ORTHODOX HERBERTARIANS
http://www.jacurutu.com/
I'm not very far along, only about 80-90 pages in, basically to the point where the Atreides are in a roundtable discussion about the future plans for Dune, and how the outlook is grim. Eerily similar to our current news headlines.Omphalos wrote:Welcome! Always happy to have a newbie. Pay not attention to the negative press we get.
How are you liking Dune? What part are you up to? Im in the process of rereading it right now too.
Great! Dont be shy about starting new topics. You are coming up to my favorite part of the book, the end of book 1, Dune, where Paul and Jessica are in a still tent and Paul has his first real visions.mulletsavant wrote:I'm not very far along, only about 80-90 pages in, basically to the point where the Atreides are in a roundtable discussion about the future plans for Dune, and how the outlook is grim.

Anyway, as a Dune newbie, and I'm sure I'll be asking plenty of infantile questions on here, so feel free to show off your vast Dune knowledge, or just flame away, either way it will be entertaining.
Don't worry I'll start plenty of threads. I got into Dune initially because of the religious/philosophical/psycholgical aspects. That always sparks some interesting mental jousts.Omphalos wrote:Great! Dont be shy about starting new topics.

That section you're in right now is, roughly speaking, my favorite part of the whole Dune cycle. Actually, the first six chapters as a whole are an outstanding example of world-building.mulletsavant wrote:I'm not very far along, only about 80-90 pages in, basically to the point where the Atreides are in a roundtable discussion about the future plans for Dune, and how the outlook is grim.
I enjoyed that scene too, but the dinner scene and the still tent scene in that first book are just amazingly well done. In the defense meeting scene Paul is just kind of a lump. He really comes out of his shell later on in those two later scenes though, which is probably why I like them more.TheDukester wrote:That section you're in right now is, roughly speaking, my favorite part of the whole Dune cycle.

Enjoy yourself; you're discovering a wonderful fictional universe.
