I'm glad to know a little more about it, as I don't know if I will approach it again.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091203425451135720.post-9333575993507446702009-09-10T15:40:40.583-07:002009-09-10T15:40:40.583-07:00I kinda got the idea that the culture of the Empir...I kinda got the idea that the culture of the Empire was so corrupt and that is why women were treated like that.<br /><br />I guess I think that he *was* trying to make a point; and the point was that women should be treated with more respect than they were in that culture.<br /><br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091203425451135720.post-35036261969809084852009-09-10T11:03:55.798-07:002009-09-10T11:03:55.798-07:00It's been a long time since I read Dune, but I...It's been a long time since I read Dune, but I remember enough to pretty much agree with your assesment of it. I tried to read one of the sequels without success. Dune itself was ok, after that, I was done.Scrabblequeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15651177076529923925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091203425451135720.post-17912328703784250122009-09-10T10:20:12.397-07:002009-09-10T10:20:12.397-07:00My husband loves these books too.

I think what I love about it is really the complex idealogy (as well as the adventure). <br /><br />I am a water resources engineer and I was very intrigued by the ingenious use of water on a desert planet and also the overall importance of it. I am a nerd - I know!Laura's Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904763940307902364noreply@blogger.com
