Dune sticks especialy - because a man I loved kept watching the same bit over and over, and he kept saying 'the answers there' - but I dont know what the question or answer are as he died and I hadnt asked him.
Have lots of sci fi, and have an interest in Arthurian myths and legends. Marion Zimmer Bradley was one author I followed from one genre to the other.
Do like Anne Rice - her descriptions are rich - probably influenced by the style she used writing slightly erotic books for ladies - although she is not sci-fi as far as I know. Moorcock at an early age - first picked up one of his books as I knew the authors name would disgust my mother.
Most recent good read was One dog at a time by Penn Farthing. Penn was on active service in Helmund, and came across a dog in need, and a dog became some dogs. Its written from his heart - and you do feel that he has transported you there, and you share his worries.
Currently re-reading Tad Williams book about Tailchaser.
Ought to read Thackerys The Rose and The Ring - a lot of politicaly inspired poems - but its a very old book, and the pages have not been cut, so I have just glimpsed bits in pockets. Any foolproof method of cutting pages open advice would be appreciated.
