...what I meant to say was there was a time in my life I had really gotten into sci-fi novels and spent a month reading the Dune series-when I finished Chapterhouse I had this strange feeling of loss that that was the end of being in that spectacular world Herbert created.Whether you like sci-fi or not,something that can be such a powerful read should be passed on.You definitely have to be in the mood though to get through them(I tried re-reading them several years later and had too much trouble with the dialogues)

i read the 1st 3 or 4 Dune novels .. but found after that they were becoming so bizarre i couldnt follow them anymore ..
It's a weird feeling - admitting something is going over your head but i have to do it.
I respect the man's vision ... he is a genius and a visionary, and i think he's writing how
HE thinks .. but it's a much more complex thought process than i can follow.
or at least it's more work than i'm willing to put into leisure reading..
