Is it the weight of his ego, actually bending his neck muscles? Is it some sort of misguided "just shoot my good side, please" notion? Is it some sort of goofy affection that he thinks looks cool?
He definitely thinks it looks cool.

Why couldn't it have been Kevin in that Segway accident. WHY GOD!?!? I wish I could go back in time to stop all of this horrible writing from ever happening.
"I must admit, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor...."
you should see the wiki pic for carbuncle...
(there's a character in Final Fantasy called like this, I never really understood how they chose that name...)
mebbe y'all been wrong, prayin' for that ursine carbunkle to fall from space;

For anyone who hasn't been to the top of the Arch, the ride up is long, jerky, and claustrophobic. They pack you into what looks like a large dryer and seal the doors. If ever you need to define hell, imagine eight minuites with KJA & Becca locked inside a steel drum.
Leto II is gone for good, except for OM. The "pearl" was just that; a miniscule portion of what Leto was, and not a compressed version of the whole. The pearl that the worms have do not make them Leto, or in any way similar to him.

I don't think the author should make the reader do that much work - Kevin J. Anderson We think we've updated 'Dune' for a modern readership without dumbing it down.- Brian Herbert There’s an unwritten compact between you and the reader. If someone enters a bookstore and sets down hard earned money(energy) for your book, you owe that person some entertainment and as much more as you can give. - Frank Herbert
A final note on why God has forsaken us: Kevin's helmet would not have protected him.
[pedantic cycling safety sidebar]
Never wear a baseball cap or a thick wool-type cap under a helmet; the helmet itself is meant to have a snug fit.
Never, ever tilt your helmet back. It's the front part of your dome that's going to take the brunt of any over-the-handlebars action. You want that bad boy going right across your brow, not tilted back where it will not only do no good whatsoever, but will also probably pop loose upon impact.
[/pedantic cycling safety sidebar]
So, seriously, if Keith had gone down, his head would have essentially not been protected by a helmet at all.
Argh! We were so close! Unfamiliar equipment, plus distracted by thoughts of getting some Becky-love that night, plus wearing his helmet like a complete dipshit, equals one hack writer in a vegetative state. Or at least it should.

I'm still very proud of The Quarry but … let's face it; in the end the real best way to sign off would have been with a great big rollicking Culture novel.
