    I am reading this post right now and I am trying to read NOIVA JUDIA de Pedro Paixão, a light Portuguese book. I have just re-read some passages of the "Sun Tzu's The Art of War".

    Re: What are you reading?

    Just got done reading The System of the World by Neal Stephenson.

    Now reading The Gathering Storm (Wheel of Time) by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. Been reading this series since I read book three 20 years ago. I guess Robert Jordan was determined to follow in his heroes' footsteps and died before finishing the series. What's with authors and not knowing how to finish?

    Re: What are you reading?

    This thread has resurrected my interest in finishing Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. Alas, I have to start fro the beginning since its been years since I read the first four.

    And I curse those who murdelized Goodkind's work with that horrible TV series, The Legend of the Seeker.....

    I read Triple as a teenager. Holy S. I can still visualize so much of that book. And this is with a crappy memory.

    Dune is a 1965 epic science fiction novel by Frank Herbert. It won the Hugo Award in 1966, and the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel. Dune is the world's best-selling science fiction novel and is the start of the Dune saga.

    Set in the far future amidst a feudal interstellar society in which noble houses, in control of individual planets, owe allegiance to the imperial House Corrino, Dune tells the story of young Paul Atreides, the heir apparent to Duke Leto Atreides as his family accepts control of the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the "spice" melange. Melange is the most important and valuable substance in the universe, increasing Arrakis's value as a fief. The story explores the multi-layered interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion, as the forces of the empire confront each other in a struggle for the control of Arrakis and its "spice".

    Herbert wrote five sequels to the novel Dune: Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune. The first novel also inspired a 1984 film adaptation by David Lynch, the 2000 Sci-Fi Channel miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune and its 2003 sequel Frank Herbert's Children of Dune (which combines the events of Dune Messiah and Children of Dune), computer games, at least two board games, songs, and a series of prequels, interquels, and sequels that were co-written by Kevin J. Anderson and the author's son, Brian Herbert, starting in 1999.
