A lot of talk generated about mention of a book written 55 years ago. The movie (remake) is due out Dec 2020. Brought over from the Book thread.
My second read of the original novel. As soon as I finish it, I’ll be jumping into the 1984 Movie Dune directed by David Lynch.

I had read Dune 7 years after it was published 1965. I have it in ebook format and was hesitant to reread it, but I started it and one page later was immediately sucked back in, such a great narrative, easy to immerse, good reading, interesting characters, with an intriguing plot. Closer to the start than the finish and enjoying every minute of it. And then there is THIS.

One of my Top reads ever. The entire series.
It was like reading a Sci Fi Bible.
I had to quit.
I have read the whole series several times - even the newer prequels (Paul of Dune, Machine Crusade, etc.) - might have to do a complete reboot and read everything in chronological order in preparation of the 2020 movie - I have high hopes - but am realistic - hard to do this justice - IMHO
When I read Dune there were no sequels, maybe this time I’ll take it further.
So far, the story (Dune) has moved from Caladan to Arrakis, Duke Leto has been set up, an attempt on the life of his son, alliances being made with the Fremen, and not one begat mentioned.
Here is a web site with all books - “House Atreides” is a good place to start
I had these all in hardcover at one time now I’m gonna have to rebuy them all again in digital format
I received a copy of Dune for Christmas. I am looking forward to starting the series.
Ah, great book. I've read all of them, including the KJA/BH additions (which I mostly enjoyed, with the exception of the intra-original Dune books, that is Paul of Dune and Winds of Dune).

Can't wait for Villenueve's two movies.
Despite not being a great movie, and certainly the most awful among David Lynch's movies, I still enjoy watching the 1984 version. The miniseries "Dune" is more true to the book, and the "Children of Dune" miniseries is also quite good!

Disagree! God Emperor is my favorite. It's a very deep book on ruling, philosophy, sacrifice, the future etc.
No problemo. This is my second read, although the first read was a long time ago. I’ll report back any begats. Geneaology appears to play some element in the plot as far as suspicion of betrayal at the hand of a loved one. And then there is Maud ‘dib.Are you sure?
There seems to me the was a whole lot of wandering/meadering around about this and that and no dialogue at all.

I bet when you find what I'm talking about you'll post about it.
And for the record I could be wrong.
I hope you enjoy.
There was a reason I quit reading though.
