Dune

[lance]

Hello all,

I just wanted to start a discussion thread for the any of the Dune books by Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert & Kevin Anderson.

Has anyone read the House trilogy? Any thoughts?

Has anyone had a chance to read Butlerian Jihad or the Machine Crusade?

I loved the House trilogy. I was not so hot on the Butlerian Jihad. I haven't been impressed by the thinking machines so far. Machine Crusade I thought was a much better book than Jihad. More political intrigue and I thought, better written.

I've read the orginal but never read any of the rest. I did enjoy the first book but from what I've heard the rest start to take off on some hard to follow lines at times.

I guess I'm scared that it will be like trying to read Tolkin, sure the main story is great, but I just can't stand those damn Hobbits singing all the time!
