Frank Herbert's classic tale of the desert planet Arrakis, the Fremen, the spice, and the sandworms was written more than fifty years ago. I read it for the first time in 1976 or 1977 and then read it several more times in the 70s and 80s. It has been a long time since I had read it and I was a little surprised, not that I remembered the story and the details, but that I could anticipate the coming words and phrases. So, this book, the last one I finished before the pandemic started, wasn't so much a literary journey as one of nostalgia. For me, a very comfortable read.
