I liked all the Dune books very much. ( the original ones.) When an author constructs an alternate universe that is so fully fleshed out and believable it is such a treat.

I want an origin story where we learn how the Fremen began. Rick from the Walking Dead and his ragtag gang founded the Fremen and he was the first sietch leader. Dune is actually Earth after global warming.

turn left hillary!! noo posted:The Brian Herbert/KJA books go through all of this; Earth was destroyed 10,000 years ago in the war against the machines, and some dude forms Zensunni or Buddhislam or something and moves his tribe to Arrakis and they become the Fremen. OH crap. I never read the son's dreck because I love the original series too much. Sigh.

The Bloop posted:I must not troll. I love this. I have written like 5 parody versions of the Litany. Thrilled to find out so many other megafans in GBS, i am one for sure. I asked in PYF if there had ever been any Dune themed big Photoshop/etc threads and no one posted any, just the Matrix. Hmmmm... Link any if there were, please.

D U N E So loving good. For me, part of the reason it's so good is because it is a fully formed detailed other universe that you are thrown into, and the reader is assumed to be quite intelligent. The politics, the GOSSIP, so fascinating. There is quite a bit of visual description, it's like watching a movie when you read it. During my first time I became aware of water wasted down the sink as I brushed my teeth. I must have read first book 20 times by now.
