Daily Ramblings – Ted Talk Tuesday – Dune

I’m a huge Science Fiction fan. In fact, most of the fiction books I read (few) are Science Fiction books. Frank Herbert’s Dune series is much like Tolkien’s Middle Earth. It is a new universe and a world filled with intrigue and mystery. If you have not read Frank Herbert’s Dune, I highly recommend it. It is a real treat.

Have a great Tuesday, folks!

Until next time…
