I will be enforcing a zero tollerance for spam in the Reading Group chapter summaries, this includes comments from members.

If your comment is not on-topic it will be deleted.

That's reasonable. The board is run fast and loose, but those sections should be strictly on topic. They are reference sections, meant to be specific discussions of the various chapters of the books.

They represent a lot of time I spent reading FH's Dune series and work writing them. My hope is that as people read the series they will comment on my summaries and point out anything I missed or that they dissagree with. With this input and upon further readings I intend to "polish" them up. Maybe one day I'll write general book summary introductions and a overall cunclusion of themes running thrughout.

It's my little contribution to preserving FH's legacy and I think it would be a great resource to new readers. Maybe one day I could get it published in some form.

Then, dare I say... a cabinet post!

Good I say too.

Is that ... Yoda-speak?

Pre-coffee "dont bother me" speak.

I think Freak could eventually publish. He would have to take the epigraphs out. He could identify with a bit of text, but probably not the entirety of all epigraphs.

The epigraphs are mainly just for ID since there are no chapter numbers.

One thing that concerns me though is I would like to one day discuss how the epigraph relates to the chapter, or if it does. Sometimes I think they fit better with the previous chapter and sometime they seem totally unconnected.

You'd have clear sailing to publish something of this nature. The HLP could do nothing about it ... well, they could pound salt up their asses, and that's about it.

Just as an example, I can name five legitimate books right now off the top of my head that deal with critical looks at Stephen King. All are careful to emphasize that they are "unauthorized," but all are perfectly fine books.

No author or rights-holder is immune from review and critique.

Seems like your chapter discussion forums here would be a good place for that....

Which reminded me of something I'd been meaning to say ever since Trang said something
somewhere about how densely packed with ideas Frank's writing was.

In the late 70s, before God Emperor was published, one of my favorite ways to unwind was
to get real stoned, grab whichever of the three books I laid hands on, open to a random page,
read about a paragraph (sometimes less) and just trip for a good long time on the implications
of what Frank wrote. That so many ideas could be expressed, or just alluded to, in a few words
was what convinced me at that time that this was not an ordinary set of books. (I used to describe
it as an opening flower of ideas within ideas)(Yeah, I was a hippie. So what ?)

And, while doing that wholesome and productive activity, one of the other games was to read just
the epigraphs and try to figure out what messages were there as related to the text. Sometimes I
thought it was a commentary on the chapter, sometimes a prophecy. The ones I couldn't see a
direct relation to the chapter's material were the ones I loved the most - made me sit on the floor
for hours, my mind spinning with ideas. (Can you imagine doing the same with KJA ?)

Wow. We hijacked the shit out of the spam thread.
