I'm still reading Children of Dune. Thats actually the one I stopped on when I first was reading the Dune series, so its entirely new for me. I did read God Emperor of Dune years later, but I don't remember it well, so I am looking forward to checking it out again.
These are some of the best books I've ever read. They're ultra wierd, and I am personally convinced that they only marginally qualify as science fiction, but whatever they really are, they're fantastic.
The Dune books require a ridiculous amount of attention and focus, and I think thats part of what I like about them. They're dense and full of insanely abstract concepts. To me, they're more about the evolution of conciousness and the dynamics of politics than anything else. The latter typically doesn't appeal to me, but the insanely convoluted intrigue of these books is enough to make even that subject interesting.
