Ahhhh, I'm just busting your chops, bro. I've always wanted to read it but it's waaaay too intimidating what with it's umpteen sequels which I'd be compelled to read. Now if they made a graphic novel based on Mobius' art, I'd be all in.
I saw the 84 movie, loved it and had to know more about the universe it was set in. The book is tough to start but you get into it. And you only really need to read the first four in the series. The rest after that is garbage. Just the Frank Herbert original stuff. There is a Marvel comic adaptation that they released the same time as the movie. Or watch the ten hour miniseries of DUNE and CHILDREN OF DUNE from SYFY. They did a great job of the first three books.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Kind of liked God emperor of Dune, but yeah the rest is a lot of wind.
The books are a hard read, you have to force yourself sometimes.
