Why dont you get all the others to read Duff. The ones written by Franks son and another dude. I think there were 6 prequels and 4 or 5 sequels to Franks books

I had to give up after the first few.

I quite liked the first one, and liked the second, but then found they started to feel like the same story retold.

It's great when you re-read a series, and you know you have 8 books that you are going to enjoy.

The Dune movies were all crap and nothing like the story
If I felt inclined to read them all again I wouldnt read God emperor of Dune again, that one was boring

God emperor was the best one. Forced ecology and terraforming.

I loved the Dune game... one day I'll get the books to read them.

Umm, Australian Fish Farmer second edition by John Mosig & Ric Fallu. Read the first edition many years ago and recently found a second hand copy of the second edition so thought I would give it a read.

my current required reading...

An Introduction to Complementary Medicine
Principles of Anatomy & Physiology 12th Ed. by Tortora & Derrickson
Complete Illustrated Guide to The Holistic Herbal by Hoffman
Basic Morphology of Flowering Plants by Siew N. Chong
Materia Medicia of Western Herbs by Carole Fisher

theres more that are recommended but this hurts my head enough at the moment

Tortora sounds like a relevant name for the author

Oh mate, It certainly is. haha

Re-reading "The last continent" by Terry Pratchett, Nullus anxietas eh?

Does anyone know of a book where the author attempts to find out what's in a meal. From mcdonalds (I think), then makes a meal of stuff he has collected/hunted from the wild.

It has the line "you are what you eat eats" and talks a lot about the foundation of american food and everything being corn. I think it also describes a farm on 500 acres with a lot of really sensible methods, its own abattoir for processing chickens and selling direct to the public. .

Does that ring any bells with anyone?

I read it a while ago but cant remember the title or who wrote it, and want to buy it for someone as a new baby in the house present.

Michael Pollan...

Probably "the omnivoures dilemma."?

His "botany of desire" is really cool watched it a couple of times now..

YES! you legend

Google you legend.....

I just copied and pasted the sentence....

#1 match was this http://literalminded.wordpress.com/2009 ... -eat-eats/

Interesting linguist.

Well that's just not fair.

I did that as well a week ago, and got hits that had nothing to do with him!

But that link is interesting. If not for the net failing me a week ago*, I never would have been shown that link



*or perhaps me typing "you eat what eats you" or something, instead of "you are what you eat eats" - who knows, but it could have been one of those nights
