Ranking FH's Other Books

[Omphalos]

I can not see what I do not want to see. I can not see what I do not want to see. I can not see what I do not want to see. I can not see what I do not want to see. I can not see what I do not want to see. I can not see what I do not want to see.

I did however see you're cover thumbnails, teeny small but correctly formed, Opera 10.53.

Seems to me there is a better litany in here somewhere.

[Nekhrun]

Oh and, no love for Hellstrom?

One of my FH favorites!

Also: Godmakers; Whipping Star; Dosadi Experiment; Eyes of Heisenberg

I must not fear.
Fear is the rose petal.
Fear is the hairy chin that brings total obliteration.
I will face my rose petal.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the rose petal has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

That can't be right, cause if the rose petal has blown past you, then Chig's nips are showing. How about:

I must not fear
Fear is the rose petal blowing away.
I will face my fear with spray on adhesive.
I will permit myself to back out of the room slowly, making sure my exit does not stir a wind.
And when I have gone, I will set fire to the room I have just backed out of,
Burning the strange he/she I have left in there.
After that, there will be nothing.
Only I and the fire marshall will remain, and I can live with that.

That's just so... incredibly... hurtful!

Hi all, just stumbled upon this forum today.

Anyway, I've had enough of those Dune spin-offs (that's a whole 'nother thread), and I'm trying to scratch that itch with F.H.'s non-Dune material. I've read the Dosadi Experiment and Santaroga Barrier and enjoyed both. Reading Destination : Void now and I'll be honest, I'm finding it a little too - clinical and technical. There's a great used book store near me that has them all, but now that I'm slogging through D:V I find myself wondering if I'm not missing out by grabbing something else instead.

I'm wondering from you folks what you'd consider his Top 5 non-Dune books. I'm not looking for a hard ranking per se, just a sense of what you think I should seek out next that I haven't already.

Any help is appreciated. My apologies if you covered this in another thread, I couldn't see anything similar.

Hey, forgot to ask - hardcore punk fan?

You're a Twin Peaks fan? And re Chig's nips (there's something I never thought I'd type), it's the fear of the unknown more than the reality that gets me.

Here, just for you. An ejaculation of roses.

[SandChigger]

Thank you.

Now stop thinking about my nipples.

[Freakzilla]

I wasn't until now... Now I can't stop.

Big time NYHC fan back in the day. Have to admit I'm getting to be an old duffer so I've mellowed out a little. More likely to be listening to some fusion/jazz guitar these days.

A lot of that was before my time, but I listen to a lot of Biohazard and Terror, stuff that came out of that scene. My girl is big into that stuff though, not so much the NY, just that whole era.

[Cro-Mags]

I always liked the thrash/metalcore stuff - Cro-Mags, Misfits, Murphy's Law, S.O.D., Bad Brains, D.R.I., Suicidal Tendencies. Such pleasant young fellows.

[A Thing of Eternity]

Love Misfits and Suicidal.

[Freakzilla]

All I wanted was a Pepsi

[Cro-Mags]

good call.

[A Thing of Eternity]

I don't know why that's the line that always stick out in people's minds...

The song was practically an anthem when I was a teenager.

... and somehow I have missed it?


edit ... DAMN! .. . SUICIDAL TENDENCIES ... I didn't miss it.

[Eyes High]

Thank you.

Now stop thinking about my nipples.

When you keep posting that picture how can we not but think about uhm them.

[SandChigger]

Thinking about people thinking about my nipples makes them tingle.

Think about that for a while.

[Eyes High]

we are so bad.



And back on topic. I'm still trying to get to Frank's other books (making the time and finding them is the hard part) but I doubt we all would rank his books in the same order. We each have our own unique tastes and therefore the stories would reach us in different ways.

Either way, the important thing is reading. Maybe read them in the order they were published.

Google has only 2 results for "vortex of nipples", soon it will have more.

[SandChigger]

"My God," Bowman's voice said from the speaker. "It's full of... a vortex of nipples!"

[inhuien]

"Listen carefully, Feyd," the Baron said. "Observe the nipples within nipples within nipples."















I'm truly very, very sorry.
