Thank you for the warm welcome, Foxbat. I agree with you on GEoD; it is a remarkable work and one of my very favorites. However, I also loved the others. As for the prequels, I do not even consider them Dune books. I read all the way up to the Machine Crusade and finally decided that I would no longer promote the slaughter of such a timeless classic.

At any rate, I hope to hear from many other Dune fans. And, just to let you all know, I am also a huge fan of A.C. Clarke, Heinlein, Simmons and Asimov. Also, I will mention Carl Sagan simply because his books have been so very influencial to me in my life; especially The Pale Blue Dot.
