Spiegazioni: ngoomie: Haven't watched either of the recent movies, but they *did* certainly remind me that I've been wanting to read Dune for a while. Unfortunately though because of Dune Pt. 2 being in theatres, the demand at my local library was so high I had to send it back a few times while I was in the middle of reading lol
