@gymhayes4613 And such things would only be known by scholars of archaic literature, instead of having a renewed fan base referred by Tolkien. Tolkien created the popular market for fantasy fiction which underlies D&D Fantasy RPGs, etc.

Dune, in addition to some detrimental political allegory, kills off most of its most interesting characters rather early in the first book. It focuses too much on the in world politics, which is not an interesting subject, (the same flaw corrupts Azimov's Foundation). In order to interest me, a novel must contain a cause or a main character that I can recognize as good, or at least as innocent (which usually equates to young). When Paul grows up, the last scrap of interest has left the series.

@MrTorleon Personally, I would have liked to see the 20cm version, with the rest of the dimensions suitably scaled up, on parchment and large print like a medieval pulpit Bible or a fairy tale spell book.
