    Ok Dune people, with the movie coming soon, I'd love to read the books.
    I see a 3-book and 6-book collection.
    Anyone read all six?

    I tried reading the first one. The author is just incredible at world building. Genius and creative.

    but it’s so fucking dorky I couldn’t finish it

    :shrug:

    I’ve read the first 4 books and a bunch of the prequel stuff I think I flamed out on chapter house

    I also have a old copy of the dune encyclopedia I stole from my dad

    Start with Dune obvi

    Just a fantastic series

    Agree on the first 3. First is great, second is pretty good and the third was good. Made it a few chapters into the 4th and couldn't finish it.

    1. Tried to read Dune last year. Hated it, stopped 30% of the way through.

    2. got the audiobook this year from the library. Hated it. Powered through and finished it. 5/10.

    3. Was at the library with kid, saw Dune Messiah on shelf. Picked it up, read 10 pages and hate it so far.

    Took me 3-4 times starting it, but eventually I got into it for the most part. Definitely a lot of action and intrigue by the time it concludes. No one loves it like AIOLICOCK though

    I read it 5-6 years ago and hated it. Bored to tears. Started it again this weekend. Only ~ 15% in, but it's more interesting for whatever reason
