Um - sorry - Dune WOULD put me to sleep... :eek:

GASP!!!! HOLD YOUR TONGUE (or whatever), FISHIE!!

I heard lots of great things about it, so I figured it was about time I had a go of reading it. I am enjoying it a lot so far...:)

I've read it a couple times now and he just did a brilliant job making the universe.
I only read one or two of the sequels, but a couple years ago, I went and read a couple of the prequel books by his son (supposedly based on notes he'd left). I NEEDED to know about the Butlerian Jihad.
(they were OK)

Wasn't there a movie too? Do you know if it was as good as the book? Or was it like most movies based on books and completely sucked?

There was a David Lynch movie which, I mean, given the MASSIVE scope of the book, and that half of it is internal monolog, he did an OK job with. It was certainly gorgeous. But yeah, disappointing.
The SciFi channel did a better job, I've heard, with their mini series (much more appropriate format)

Any way you try it, though, its a tough work to adapt.
