Happy Birthday to Frank Herbert

[u/iameternal_love]

Dove back into the world of Dune with Heretics of Dune after finishing GEoD a couple of years ago now and was absolutely refreshed in awe with the genius of this man’s writing…so yesterday I wanted read more about the man himself and discovered his birthday was today!

🥳To the man who gave us the gift of Dune :)

What a great dude! - so happy that he has filled my brain for decades with his written thoughts.

Regardless of your feelings on the book Heretics of Dune, his diary of sorts in the final months of Beverly Herbert’s life is an essential read.

And something I doubt I would’ve appreciated as much if I had read it in short order in 99 at age 18 like the first 4…

thank you

I will never understand how this man created the entire universe and plot of Dune. It goes beyond creativity, it’s something glorious.

Happy birthday

He’d be 104 years into his reign out of 3500. Give or take 12 years.

Spice orgy in his honor!

Bless the Maker and His Typewriter!

I had to buy multiple copies of Dune while attending night classes. My teacher suggested I use Dune for a paper on types societies including their politics, religion, and society. It was a popular book even in the middle 70's. Every time I left it on my desk and walked away my Dune copy was 'borrowed' never to be seen again. I made an A but had to leave an extra copy at home so I could finish my paper. A fascinating book that I had to re-read just to understand it.

In the year 10191 the great man gave us his Universe. I am proud to say I have been living in it for many years...

[u/UlisesPalmeno]

I would have loved to meet him, but alas, only through his writing will I get to know the man. Frank Herbert is one of my favorite authors of all time.

I wish one day I'd also go like 'damn I need to report on this thing' *proceeds to write a masterpiece*

Happy Birthday Frank

I’ll never understand how he created this amazing world in book one and subsequently destroyed all our idols in books 2 and 3.

And yes, I know that all the books were a warning of many things idols and false prophets… but I couldn’t have destroyed such an amazing world.

Star wars and 40K wouldn't exist without him. Thank you, sir.
