The yellow one.
He costs about $15 at Wal Mart, so I'd say I got a good deal out of it.

Saw the movie Tangled, then went to the Chapters store beside it and picked up these:

Just slightly late to the party, but I've been planning to pick this up for a while.

This one looked interesting. Hoping these are both worth the buy.

Dune is one of the best books I've read. You'll see that Star Wars takes a lot from it. I'm on the last Dune book (Chapterhouse: Dune), and all of them are recommendable. First two are the best, though.

Excellent choice. Now read it. Read it again. And then again and again over the next couple of years. Thats what i do anyway. don't forget to get the other five books, too. And stay away from the crappy prequels (and the sad books 7a and 7b).

Dune was great. I'm rereading all of Tolkien's books. I just finished the Simarillion- dunno why everyone complains about it, wasn't a hard read...

Bah! I tried getting into Dune a while back, but the first 100 pages were boring as shit! Supposedly it picks up when the whiney brat gets down to the desert planet place, but I couldn't ever read it at all.

Hitchhiker's Guide, now there is a series I can get into...

The Dune series is tricky. Every book is slightly worse than the one before it. So what you should do is read until you're disappointed, and then stop; don't grab the next book and think "maybe this will make up for the last one" because it'll only ruin it further. It's hard to say which book is the one that'll ruin the series for you, but probably just stop after the first or second one.
