#018 - The S&L Podcast: Kwisatz and the Haderachs
/It was Dune time and we found out how much of nerd I (Tom) am for Frank Herbert's stuff and how hard it is to pronounce pretty much anything he wrote when you try to say it out loud.
Dune comments
Hard to get into - Terpkristin
Bizarre early attempt to make a film of Dune - Josh Lawrence
Great lines - Sean o'Hara
One thing I love about Dune is the great quotes it provides.
- A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.
- Mood's a thing for cattle or making love or playing the baliset. (For some reason I imagine Gurney sounding like Groundskeeper Willy when he says this)
- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
What are the ones that stand out to you?

Does anyone else find the sentence structure a little wacky? I find myself having to re-read some to understand what is being said. I'm in the first few pages though. I might just need to get into the rhythm.
Tom's currently reading the Butlerian Jihad by K. Anderson (one of the extended universe novels - a prequel actually)
