Which Dune books are worth reading?

>> No.14158469

>>14158462
Just keep in mind dune progresses like naruto

>> No.14158471

None of them.

The first is meant to be the best but the first page literally spells out a massive plot arc then the next 150 pages (at least) is the book slooooooooooooooooowly crawling towards that event with nothing other than painfully boring worldbuilding to sustain it.

None. First one if you still feel the duty to read it for "general culture". A reader of serious literature, if they've developed their critical faculties, is very unlikely to find anything worthwhile in the books. Supposedly the fourth one is especially philosophical, but I doubt it's worth it.

the first one, it was good, it ended in a satisfying way, I enjoyed it but don't want to commit to a series of them

That's not true or else it would be the greatest progression in all of literature

>> No.14158887

>>14158469
If that's true, it should be good.
