Dune

[jack]

And for the first time, I chose a book by its cover. I mean, often a cover grabs my attention, or I filter on genre by cover, but decision to take will by by text. But I wanted Dune -- I read it at school a lot, but never owned it. But the version in borders was all black and stark cover, which was cool, but not Dune to me. So I added it to my next amazon (marketplace) orders.

There was the option to buy an omnibus edition, which is normally cool but (i) I suspect the combination will be gargatuan and (ii) I don't really want Dune: Anything Else.

I remember when I first read Dune. I was definitely embarassed to be reading such Scifi, though I can't remember exactly why.

Because it's pants and someone you know might see you?

You mean Dune, is crap, as opposed to scifi? Well, maybe. But:

(a) You can't tell that by looking at it, can you? And I used to read other crap :)

(b) No it's not! I loved Dune. Lovelovelove. Dune ftw. (OK, we'll see if I still like it now I've grown up a bit, but I expect so. Why didn't you?)
