It is a great book. I just finished it yesterday. The last 20 or so pages took over a week though. LOL

The Dune books were the first I read while going to school. I mean, literally walking & reading at the same time.

Is it really the "greatest book ever" like some people say?

Not the greatest ever, but easily one of the best (if not the best) sci-fi I've read.

One of the best books I've ever read is John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany.

I can't get a hold of it, so it doesn't exist.

I do desire eventually reading it, yes. I just meant it will almost surely mean going to such length as to order it from abroad.

I can't expect anybody (notwithstanding James) calling the new Polar Bear great. It doesn't inspire that level of goodness, at least from the first listen.

Are you going for sure then? That's a pretty nice birthday present, Scott.

I should have a car by then, which will transport me to the post office.

Of course, if you want the book, I can still send it. Just PM me your address.

I'm not sure. I just ran across this, but it is definitely a sign of what I should do on my birthday.
