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.
