DUNE

I'm very fascinated by Frank Herbert's Dune books these days. I had to upgrade my old tattered bindingfree copy and upgrade to a shiny trade paperback.

One thing I noticed was the lack of humor in the series. Most of the greatest novelests find ways to infuse some humor into their stories about the human condition.

I mean this only as an observation and not as a criticism; the quality of the series speaks for itself.

I read the entire series about ten years ago and was hopelessly lost for most of it. I'm doing much better this time (All that reading I did in college HAS improved my comprehension!).
