I'll have to add it to my never-ending list. Ha ha.

Speaking of The Wheel of Time, did you pick up "The Gathering Storm" yet?

I nabbed it on sale over the weekend and told my wife she got me an extra Christmas present. Of course, I'm still only on book 5 out of my re-read of the preceding 11 novels so it might gather dust for a bit yet.

I'll be on book 9. Although I took a side trip into "The World of the Wheel of Time" which is just a slog. A marginally interesting slog, but a slog nonetheless. I need to go back and update my forsaken spreadsheet for book 8 before I start 9.

As to Dune, I never read it because my Dad didn't like it. Perhaps I should give it a shot sometime.

I think there are 7 Dune books in the series total. It would probably be a better idea to space them out over time instead of trying to get through them all at once. That was probably my mistake and I'd get burned out after about 3 of them. Then there are a slew of other side issue Dune books written, prequels, sequels, and some you-name-it-quels.

I read the dune books at the start of school and 4 years later I read all the Dune books by Frank and his son. I will agree that with frank herberts writing you have to read slow and take it all in. With his writing even missing one paragraph will be enough to get lost in the plot twists (plans with in plans).

I love the dune books but even I hae to say it can get kind of boring sometimes.

I did, but yeah, I'll want to read the whole series again, and I never read the book before it, anyway. I haven't been able to convince myself to start all of that reading yet.

It's great. I'm loving it. Well, other than TWoRJtWoT.
