Have you read dune?
>>24741069Yes, all six books
Yeah. This guy lent it to me when I was working at a recycling plant about 6 years ago. He got fired and I had no way to give it back to him. It was ok. Scifi isn't really my thing. From what I remember it felt like not much happened considering it's like 800 pages long and the prose didn't impress me much. I can remember a lot of it, which is a good sign, but nothing sticks out as being particularly interesting or affecting.
>>24741073Worth the read?
>>24741069Yes and I regret reading anything after Messiah
>>24741110Personally, yes, but your mileage may vary. If you like book 1 (it picks up after 50 pages) read book 2. If you liked those two, read book three, at which point you should definitely read 4. God emperor is my first or second favorite of the series after book one. Books 5-6 get quite weird/ set up more books Frank Herbert never got around to writing, but I like elements and characters from them quite a bit (Miles Teg is one of the best characters in the series) and the cliffhanger ending doesn’t bother me. Honestly, I’m just thankful no one desecrated Frank Herbert’s memory by writing a bunch of shitty cash grab continuations
Frogposters deserve no replies.
>>24741110Yeah, it's good

>>24741069I've read the first 4, pretty good stuff.
>>24741069Yes.
>>24741069I read the first book 4 times and others in the series once. It gets worse with each entry, literally just read the first book.
>>24741069I read it recently for the first time. I thought it was great. I swear, I love stories where scarcity is almost a character in the story.
>>24741069Reading currently So far it's just like based Star Wars
>>24742164Messiah is good too. The rest aren't good even for SF standards
>>24741069yeah, I didn't care for it.
>>24742287like the John Carter books, Dune does suffer from having inspired now ubiquitous rip offs. By the time you get to Children of Dune the number of things Lucas stole gets unconscionable
>>24741069The first book was ok but I got filtered by Messiah.
>>24741069Only read the first one, liked it, got told the rest is just not worth it, is it true /lit/?
>>24741069I read the first two books but things got too weird.
