Yea...the first 10 pages, my mind was damn wobbly, cos I couldnt grasp the terms nia...Originally posted by the Bear:read all six.. the Frank Herbert ones...
and then keep re-reading them.. coz each time, you will understand more about the complexities of the whole series...
The only words I know of are: Aterides, Harkonnen and Bene Gesserit, cos u said that the most -
it's a lot easier to read than Tolkien's stuff
well, just know that the Duke Leto Atreides is gaining popularity amongst the landsraad and is becoming stronger... so the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV has plotted his downfall with his mortal enemy Baron Vladimir Harkonnen...
and it all happens at the centre of the universe, Arrakis also known as Dune.. the only source of the Spice Melange... which allows the various users their abilities.. the Bene Gesserit to use their mind and body in ways inconceivable to mere humans, the Navigators to fold space, and ordinary people to live longer and have more healthy lives
the rest reads like a great story... of the young Paul Atreides who becomes Paul Muad'dib.. the Kwisatz Haderach... who became ensnared in his own personal tragedy..Originally posted by deathscythe99:Yea...the first 10 pages, my mind was damn wobbly, cos I couldnt grasp the terms nia...

i've read them more than a dozen times... each time, i find something new
it's a great series.. even greater than Tolkien's i would say... seriously...
Tolkien warbles on and gives too much detail, leaving nothing to the imagination.. Herbert does better.. and in your mind, a fantasic new world appears each time you envision Caladan, Giedi Prime, Arrakis, or even Kaitain or Salusa SecundusOriginally posted by deathscythe99:Woah...but...I found Tolkien's stuff easy to read.

I've watched the trailers for Sin City several times now. Definitely a must-watch on my list!

No, lah!Originally posted by tare:and the both of u have a date!!!
I'm a spontaneous midnight movie preview night owl, especially for shows that I have been DYING to watch! Bear seems to be a guai guai stay at home night owl. No date! Bears cannot date humans... and it's wise for humans not to date bears, especially hungry ones! -
