I agree re DUNE 100%, it is remarkable literature as well as a
great story and evokes in just that first book an entire universe
better and more true to it's self and its own values than almost
any thing I have ever read. I still remember reading for the first
fime of Paul and Jessica's flight into the desert in the night, and
the remarkable way their past luxurious life (yet still based on
remarkable discipline and inner teachings, just hinted at and
then developed thorughout the stories in true zen fashion) how
their past vamished in the great vast stillness of the desert, that
crushing, far reaching, totality of the dry still vastnesses of it,
and how their first encounter with the fremen was so beautiflly
sculpted by Herbert and built slowly into a wider and wider vista.
I am envious of your CD version and must look for it myself,
I am hurrying to build a library of the classic games for we have
a wonderful and perhaps fleeting opportunity to find these games
while some of the resources are still around us. thanks for sharing
some of the details, and for sharing your enthusiasm and appreciation
of this great game of a great story.
