I love Dune! Every single time I read it, I understand it in new ways and it's amazing to me. One of my favorite books. I did read the subsequent books and struggled to complete the final 3. Years ago, I started reading through the prequels written by his son, but I am too empathetic and I had to stop reading because I was getting so sad. I like to sit and think about things, and I'd read the books, and sit and think about them, and it would be not great for my mental health. I'd love to try again someday; have considered it as a goal for the next year since I've got some more time on my hands, and I would probably see things a bit differently.
