Trying to get into Dune. Any advice, /lit/?

You'll want to study Lacan, Marx, Foucault, Barthes, and maybe a bit of Zizek before tackling it.

Stop after the first 3.

I'm not sure if this OP is a troll or not.

Read Dune. Simple as that.

No need to go beyond the second novel. The second one is a missed opportunity, though. The third has its moments but that's about it, no need to waste your time. Don't touch any prequels or sequels written by Frank and Kevin.

Sorry about that. That must have been Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson.

Ain't nothin' wrong with reading every book involved with the Dune universe. Just don't expect the same caliber of story. It's still a good story, it just isn't up to /lit/s impeccable standards.

Er, after the third book, that is.

How far are you in? Early chapters are kinda slow.

Personally, I've always been partial to Messiah and God-Emperor. They make everything worthwhile

I'm sure one can find better things to read.
