I've decided to start Dune today... what should I expect? and... after I finish it... should I bother with the sequels? ...sometimes sequels are not so good

buy me a book u jew faggot:http://www.amazon.com/wishlist/19JE4C8PIBM4M

First three books are awesome, then they get less awesome. Still worth reading all the originals, however. DO NOT READ THE OTHERS BY BRIAN HERBERT.

>> No.948318

Yes, get the sequels, the sequels are great. The prequels not so much, but it'll entertain you with some backstory.

This is unabashedly true, if you read anything other than the first one you will feel bad and you will deserve to feel bad.

>> No.948376

Let's see...

After reading the first three me thinks that if you like thinking about advancing the human consciousness to jupiter mind levels, the nature of our perception based in reality and just fuckin cool sci fi shit, Definately read on /lit/tle one.

Except for when it's not true. Quite a few of us have read more than the first book and enjoyed them.

Okay, fair enough, art is subjective etc. But what about when the Bene Geserit (sp?) become space whores. Um...fail.

And you're this:

>Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

They didn't become space whores, they assimilated the Honored Matres to fight the Enemy.
If anything they created a better fight force called Valkyries.

Read as much as you want of them. Brien Herbert has a different style than his father. Obvious. Enjoy them and be happy.
