Reply To: What are you reading?
The Dune sequels get increasingly bizarre, probably peaking in that regard with God Emperor; there’s a part of me that suspects that one was actually written by Phillip K. Dick rather than Frank Herbert. The first time I tried reading the series, I didn’t get much past the second book. The second time I got all the way through, but I’m not sure I’d recommend the whole thing. I know people who’ve gone ahead and read the Brian Herbert prequels, but I never took it that far.
