The Dune Series.
I don't know if anyone here has read the entire series, but I just have (the orginal series, anyway), and MAN, the implications! Does anyone care to air their own interpretations of this BRILLIANT series?

I've read the entire series, originonal and otherwise. They are supremely cool!
 I'm not too sure what he's saying, but he most definately is telling us something about our natures.

Oh, hello TwirlingString (how can I say that in all seriousness....?), I was hoping someone would close this thread, as it's in the wrong forum, there's a whole big discussion in the scifi forum, if you wanna go and have a look see.

Admins: close this thread please....
You *haven't* read the whole series?! Dune by itself doesn't even mess with your mind, it's all the other ones that do....
