this is a delicate time indeed as I begin to realize the impact Dune and F Herbert have had on me and so many other people, and as I struggle to make my unbelieving friends come to their senses!
I stumbled on your website watching a youtube vid(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veSq_w9YKJ4&feature=fvw" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and I found the choice of Jacurutu and the Cast Out so fitting I had to come and see what it was all about...
As for me my name's Tim, I live in France but thanks to a english and sci fi loving dad, I was able to read my favourite books in both languages, and discovered from an early age F Herbert with "Whipping Star", and then I got into Dune and I've nver left Arrakis since
Just to add this books are so deep that I find new meanings in them at each new stage of my life, as my awareness is modified by experience and knowledge, and that in itself is the mark of a writer's genius i believe.
Briefly I like the Lynch movie for its depicting of the Fremen or the rest of the Empire, a lot less for the quick interpretation of the Dune legends
I read the pre/se-quels but was not convinced, as it lacks at least the breathtaking mindblowing writing technique of FH.
I hope to learn new things from the Dune series and maybe share my own understanding of what is for me the climax of the golden age of sci fi as they sometimes call it, and the mother of all space operas
