My favorite book of all time is DUNE and the only other author that has created as immerse and realistic world that I can think of is J.R. Tolkein. The first 3 books in the series are my favorite but as the series progresses the story becomes less intresting for me and the charachters somehow dilluted (sp?). However DUNE is a must for any fantasy or Sci fi fan, it's a true gem.
