Re: Heinlein, I don't think anyone can think he isn't some kind of debased pervert if they've read Time Enough for Love. This is the novel where the explicit self-insert main character travels back in time to gently caress his own mother, and it ends with him retiring to a hedonistic sex paradise with two under-aged female clones of himself, who Heinlein makes very, very clear are horny for the main character.

It was fall again, and with the changing of the leaves the ancient Frank Herbert dared.

Braving the teeming water-fat masses of the outside world he made his way and at altar of the fish-wife goddess he made his demands of the barista.

"The spice." he hissed, his voice a dusty rasp, almost a whisper. "It must flow."

The servant prepared his beverage- the spice coffee- and the cinnamon and nutmeg smell of melange teased his nostrils.

"So, uh, sir, do you want your senior discount?" the barista inquired

"The geriatric discount??"

"Uh, yeah, so that's ten cents off..."

"Ah-h-h-h" Frank smiled in triumph, producing- just as he had foreseen- an additional coupon and slid it across the counter.

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 highliner
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"The Sleeper must awaken"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred Harkonnen or more could ever do
Bless the Maker and all His Water.
Gonna take some time to grow the things we never had

The wild cielagos cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Mt Idaho rises like Shai-Hulud above the Shiel Wall
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred Harkonnen or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Caladan
Gonna take some time to grow the things we never had

"The Sleeper must awaken"

Here's an image I took in 2004 atop one of the larger dunes in an area south of Florence, OR. These are the places where Herbert got his original idea for the novel, based on anti-desertification projects that were taking place near coastal Oregon towns with the seeding of certain flora that hemmed in shifting sands.

I had just read the book for the first time about 2 years earlier.
