Got going on a reread of Frank Herbert's Dune today. It's been some five decades since I got involved in Herbert's world building and it strikes me as just as fresh and imaginatively compelling. Fortunately I've pretty much forgotten every aspect of the plot so that helps considerably on the freshness front.
Maybe this time I'll delve further into the series. Not sure why it didn't occur to me to do so way back when. Probably a lack of time - a perennial problem. Though Herbert certainly carved out time somehow for all his imaginings.
Not sure how writers do this. Though the fact that I have no real imagination at all makes it a moot point in my case.
