Salve!
After much lurking, and deliberation, I finally decided to join this wonderful forum. My story is pretty much like everyone else's: I discovered Dune in 6th grade, fell in love with it, voraciously read the other books. I thought "Chapterhouse" was the end, until a clerk at Borders introduced me to the House series. I wasted my money on those, followed with Legends, then that mess masquerading as "Dune 7". Besides the original, "Chapterhouse" is my favorite.
I'm not a Dune expert (and I don't pretend to be like those two stooges), but I feel confident that I know more about The Canon than those hacks-posing-as-writers do.
Here's to looking forward to sharing discussions with intelligent people who seem to have a clue about what Frank wrote!

Every time I see Salve!, I flash back to HBO's Rome.

I should probably stop re-watching the DVDs now ...

You would have had to say that one.

Re: Salve!
The cure is always to think of another addictive, catchy song, but make sure it's a song you like.

greetings Salve.
hey do you remember if the guild crashed a highliner on chapter house in the original franks herbert books?
it is a current topic of debate around these parts.
That's how I wrote the novel, wanting you to participate with the best of your own imagination. I did not aim for the lowest common denominator and 'write down" to anyone. You and I have a compact and my responsibility is to entertain you as richly as possible, always giving you as much extra as I can. I assume you are intelligent and will enlist your own imagination. You'll see that when you read the Dune excerpt and the other stories in this collection.
