feedFrank Herbert's Birthday Is Today
I would title this "Happy Birthday Frank Herbert," but the man is dead, so that hardly seems appropriate.
In any case, Dune remains one of the strangest damn books I've ever read, and one of the most powerfully engaging and moving and fabulous. If you haven't read Dune, you should, even if you are too far above science fiction (with your head in the clouds) to read it.
Also? Mr. Herbert was born in Tacoma. It takes some doing to become a best-selling novelist from Tacoma. And that may be enough right there for me (and you) to mention it.
