Jonathan said the magic words the other day — "maybe I'll re-read Dune before watching the movies." He didn't share my love for the book after reading it the first time a few years ago. Hopefully a re-read will change his view on it. Regardless, I'm taking the opportunity to re-read it myself, hoping it still stands up to the "favorite science fiction book of all time" label I've given it.

He'll be home for the summer before heading out for grad school in the fall. Reading — and watching — Dune together will be a lot of fun.
