Yes, I do recomend Dune. Very good indeed. The folowing 5 books in the series are just so-so, not as good as the first one. But still they are clearly Frank "Herbertish" and you could do much worse than reading them. But Dune itself is really good. <BR><BR>

I can't say ive read that much yet. Dune is what i'm going to read next. Does anyone reccomend it?<BR><BR>
