Mahdi Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 You son of a bitch. You and me are gonna have to have a talk concerning this item.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 good grief.lol I wish I had all of the dune books. I bet you dont have all of his other book collections though. I have them all! :P hehe ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted January 27, 2003 Author Share Posted January 27, 2003 Mahdi: lol. I thought you had this already. Oh well. I'll be sure to let you know if I see any more.TMA: No, I don't have all of Herbert's stuff. The only non-Dunes I have are The Dosadi Experiment, Eye, and an interesting thing called Five Fates, which is five short stories - one by Frank, and another by Harlan Ellison (one of my favourite authors) - based on the same general idea. I'd like to get a copy of Man of Two Worlds, as I've read it before and really enjoyed it. Do you have Mr. Herbert's computer guide, Without Me, You're Nothing?

Mahdi Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 My Dune books:Dune: Bought it for 25 cents from the library becasue it was falling apart. Lent it to a friend. It fell apart. Thrown out.Dune MEssiah: Stolen.House Atreides: Bought (paperback, on sale)Dune: Bought this september, a gift to myself beggining university.Dune Encyclopeadea: Stolen (kinda. That's debatable.)In another day or two when I feel up to it, I'm gonna send you an IM so we can discuss something concerning this new book of yours.

Vanguard3000 Posted January 27, 2003 Author Share Posted January 27, 2003 Hmm... I'm kinda wanting to hear your Dune Encyclopedia theft story. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 No story. It just depends on whether you consider what I did to get it theft or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I have this list:DuneDune MessiahChildren of DuneGod Emperor of DuneHeretics of DuneChapter House Dune~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Destination:Void (My favorite by Frank)The Jesus incidentThe Lazerus Effect~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Whipping Star (Another favorite)The Desadi ExperamentThe Ascension Factor~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The God MakersThe Heaven MakersDirect DecentEyes of heisenbergThe White PlagueI also have all of Kevin and Brian's prequels and the DE.Not all of frank herbert's books. But a lot of em! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 The Whtie Plague, I loved the first 1/3, hated the 2/3 and absolutly loved the 3/3. The middle was so long-winded, boring, and overdone. The rest was the usual brilliance you'd expect from Herbert.Man of Two Worlds I just plain disliked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted January 27, 2003 Author Share Posted January 27, 2003 TMA: I thought the Ascension factor was part of the D:V series? Anyway, I'm trying to get my hands on those books, since I hear they're really good.Mahdi: Why didn't you like Man of Two Worlds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I just didn't. I don't remember it well, it's been years since I read it, but I do remember that I did not like it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 whoa your right. Destination: VoidJesus incidentAcsention FactorTHENWhipping StarThe Desadi ExperamentLazerus Effectyou are right. may I suggest two of the best books besides Dune?Read Whipping Star. It is amazing and you wont be able to put it down. It is extremely intelligent and actually a challenge to follow at times. It isnt fake though. It really is deep.The God Makers. The book is just plain nuts. IN a good way of course. It is very very good.I have to add one more great one. Destination:VoidAs a matter of fact, read all of the pandora trilogy.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted January 27, 2003 Author Share Posted January 27, 2003 Hehe, I think you made another mistake. From what I understand, it goes like this:The series with ShipDestination: Void (like the Hobbit: You don't have to read it to understand it's sequels)The Jesus IncidentThe Lazarus EffectThe Ascension FactorThe series involving Jorj X. McKie, BuSab, etcThe Whipping StarThe Dosadi Experimenttwo short stories from Eye.Anyway, I'm about 25 pages from finishing the Dosadi Experiment. It's really good, but it's difficult to follow because of it's complexity (as you said with the Whipping Star).I really want to read Destination: Void and it's series, but I can't find it anywhere. I went on a quest last time I was in Ottawa. I must have checked 3/4 of the used bookstores in the city, and I could only find The Lazarus Effect and the Ascension Factor (neither of which I bought for some reason. I guess I had a brain fart or something). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Hehe, I dont know the order. I only finished Whipping star and part of Desodi. I need to actaully READ all of them. I have only read half. I got these books about 2 months ago so it takes me a while with school and whatnot.By the way vanguard, I have read my copy to death, if you want I can send you mine. I do it out of the love of my favorite book. I would be more than happy to send it to you. Its the revised version that frank herbert did to perfect it. Its better than the original. He made just the right adjustments. I have been waiting for somebody to talk to about this book. I would totally be willing to send it to you. just tell me if you want to. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMA_1 Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 hmm I have heard of the green brain, what is it like? Also on a second note to you guys who know, isnt the Eye cover the best frank herbert cover? it is mine. Well that was pointless info for you guys.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chani Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 The Green Brain is pretty good. It took me a few gos to get into it, but once I was there it was very enjoyable. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 So chani what aspect of Dune do you like(other than books as I see you have them all). do you like the games? movies/miniseries?board games/memoriabilia?I like all of the above except I dont have any board games/memorabilia(although me and others are coming up with board game...see my sig.)

Vanguard3000 Posted February 2, 2003 Author Share Posted February 2, 2003 TMA: Although I'm not 100% sure, I think I agree with you. It was beutifully done, but I disagree with the colours of the stillsuit. Purple and green don't exactly blend in with the desert too well.

Mahdi Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Stilsuits were at all times covered by robes while in the desert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 2, 2003 Author Share Posted February 2, 2003 True. But I still don't think their stillsuits would be that colourful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
