   I'm not a big fan of Dune (I've read it three times trying to figure   
   out why some people rave about it so much, and mostly came up empty),   
   but you've made this claim a couple times now that the first X number   
   of chapers are just descriptions of sand.  I'm assuming you never   
   actually read the book, because that's just pure bullshit.
