I'm finally reading Dune

[emsumm]

It's only been on my list for 20 years.
Tell me it's worth it?!

[intentionalsnarkshark]

It's been awhile, but I remember really liking it.

[sapphireblue]

I read it for a class and wasn't crazy about it. But I know many people who really enjoyed it!

[FormerlyRR]

I remember reading it, but not much else. It's been 30+ years tho and I've slept since then.

My husband has read all of them.

It's been a few years since I last read the series, but I really enjoyed it. It can take awhile to get into the lingo though, and there is a lot of world building that can feel overwhelming.

When you are done, but NOT before, come back and read this: www.goodnightdune.com

Once you're done and you want a companion to it, watch Jodorowsky's Dune. It's a documentary about an awesome version of Dune that was never made, starring Salvador Dali and Orson Welles. And music by Pink Floyd!

Mine, too. They're his favorite books. He's actually rereading them now.

I read several of the books back in college. I loved the first one but they progressively weirder as time goes on and eventually go off the rails a bit.

Some of the prequels written by his son(?) are good too.

It's worth it.

I couldn't get into it. I think I gave up 2/3 of the way in. My dog ate it, and I wasn't sad about it. lol

Yes. Dune is amazing. So worth it.

The sequels are... meh. The first two were okay. I barely made it through God Emperor of Dune. I gave up about 100 pages in Heretics.
