Classic: Dune 1

I have been staring at this series on my dad's bookshelf for years, wondering if the first one was floating around somewhere for me to read. This project provided me with the motivation to actually go hunt it down. I don't really know a lot about it. I'm aware that it's classic sci-fi, and involves giant Sandworms on a fictional, futuristic planet. I also read a quote from it in one of my favorite books, Fear by Michael Grant. “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” 
I love that quote, and not just because it occurs at one of my favorite points in Fear. It seems like such a cool way to live your life.
