    As someone who missed the bus I must needs ask, when did reading books become a competition? How many must one read? Who's awarding the prizes? What does one win?? Does 'reading' a book on Wikipedia count? Whether photo of books bought counts as 'books read'? all too confusing...

    Also, I see there's an English translation of Gopalakrishna Pai's Swapna Sarawatha out from Manipal Univ Press. Quite the novel, if you're interested in GSB history, during the brutal Portuguese occupation of Goa & its aftermath. Read in Kannada if you can. if not, here you go...

    Speaking of Dune & design, it's well worth revisiting the awesome character designs, concept art & storyboards that Moebius did for Jodorowsky’s Dune (whose cast included Orson Welles, Salvador Dali & Mick Jagger; with Pink Floyd doing the soundtrack)...

    Update: looks like the leak was premature. For it seems like the design team slams the Dunc with a planet in eclipse (yes, that one!) to form the final DUNE logo. Big HT to for the update. Pic via .
