...which is in my Who are all these people and why should I care? bin.

I just don't get Dune. I've read it three times in my life trying to figure it out, each time upon meeting someone who was an enthusiastic fan of it.

It's not likely I'll read it again. I'd rather re-read a dozen bad Star Trek novelizations. And I have.

Needless to say, I've avoided the movies. The trailers alone were misery.
