Hunters of Dune by Brian Herbert & Kevin J Anderson.Decent.
Good compared to their other Dune books.
Bad compared to the original Dune books (Frank Herbert)

Then I re-read Heretics of Dune and am currently reading Dune: Chapterhouse: Awesome.

Oh, I also read book 5 of the Walking Dead series 'The Best Defense' - probably the best comic book series out at the moment, I can highly recommend it to anyone.

I would as well. I got all 5 Walking Dead books in 2006. Great story about humanity with zombies mixed in.

... then started on the Bible, still on OT, Deuteronomy ... ?Have not done as much reading as I would have liked ...

Link for Deuteronomy students

Legion, excellent commentary on Deuteronomy if you are interested.  I think you can alos download it from their site for less than $10 too, but I'm not positive.

Chuck Missler is excellent for getting through the Torah / Pentateuch.  Many insights you wouldn't get elsewhere. :)

I may just do that M/S, I've got to start reading again ... The OT is full of battles and violence !   And I know may best read in '07 will be Hammer's Slammers VOL.2 and Handbook pt.2 ... (If I don't say that, the Major and some of his White Mice may show up at my door !)

Haha.

I just finished Chapterhouse and the plotholes from that part to Hunters is .... holymoly...crap
And as I read somewhere else, the IQ of the characters dropped at least 50 points between Chapterhouse and Hunters.

Ah well, I have all Dune books and I all like them to an extend. Some more then others.

I have the first five or six books and I think I can honestly say that the only one I'll ever re-read is the first.

What? No one's adding "Watchmen" and "The Ballad of Halo Jones"?

Or am I befuddled and we're not speaking about the best works from Moore? ?:p

Groan, and I've even got a copy of watchmen.... forgot (how could I?) all about it!

New reading stuff (and what a mess of types it is!):
Virgil's Aeneid
Ringworld
A trio of Dan Dare collections
It's a bird....

Only Ringworld left to read.
And speaking of comics, It's a bird.. by Seagle and Kristiansen, is incredible. It's a comic, it's (obviously) related to Superman, but there's only real life 'heroics' of a sort in it. It's no superhero story, but is based on a semi-autobiographical tale by Steven T. Seagle, the author. Stunning - and the artwork is grand, if unusual.
