i think more people are reading dune as a result of dune: part two being released but as a certified dune head (read all books and is regularly fights with people on the dune subreddit) i highly recommend that you read all six books. yes they’re a little political jargony but if you take the time to really read them and discover the universe i promise it’s so rewarding. there’s also just a lot of fun stuff like people worm fusions and child cult leaders and the last part has a lesbian space sex matriarchy trying to take over the universe!!(don’t read the brain herbert books tho they’re not that good)
i love going to a party and saying "i should leave soon it's my turn to take stephen to day care in the morning." i don't have a kid. it's these sick little thrills that make life worth living.
