	I have to agree, Kevin Anderson leaves something to be desired, IMO. But to each his own.

	is this the dune thread? wasn't there another one, or is this one it? whatever, so anyway, this summer i took dune back up. i read the first dune a few years back and i stood behind my convictions that the 1984 david lynch movie was better than the book. okay, i know. but this summer i started reading dune messiah, then children, then God Emperor and finally i re-read Dune. wow. it was friggin' fantastic and i can't believe that i ever thought i liked the movie better. i still hold the movie in high esteem, but that book is fantastic. yesterday i started reading heretics and i plan to have finished the entire (non-kevin j. andersone) series before summer is over. anyway, i have a good question: ya hya chouda... am i supposed to say that like YAH Hee-Ah Chow-who-DA or something else? -----signature----- reducto absurdum of all human experience

	I've read most of the Dune books and I have a few in the reading pile. Does anyone have a list (or a link to one) that puts the books in chronological order story-wise? (In other words, in the order that the events take place, not the order in which they were written). -----signature----- BF - 'Bounty Hunter Wars': "Don't be an idiot.

BTW, I've been considering getting Hunters and Sandworms for some time, but my dislike of The Butlerian Jihad has been preventing me. The fact that the story (what I've heard of it, anyway) sounds like something Supershadow cooked up isn't helping, either. Now, the prequel trilogy (a.k.a. Prelude to Dune) I liked. They were a bit fannish, but that didn't bother me. TBJ was also fannish, but they didn't appeal to the sort of fan I am, I guess. So . . . should I get the two sequels or not? - lazy -----signature----- "You're like some kind of link machine." - rhonderoo It didn't stop being magic just because you found out how it was done.

	bump I found these videos on YouTube. They should be watched in order. They're rather pointed, though weird at first. Interesting.

	I actually prefer Herbert's stand-alone works to the Dune series. The Santaroga Barrier's the best, I think. -----signature----- Padawan to Jag4Me Padawan to Astar-Kun in the New Jedi Trials "Then he waited, marshalling his thoughts and brooding over his still untested powers For although he was master of the world, he knew not what to do next.
