While not my #1 favorite, it is clearly in my Top 10 SF books. IIRC, the last two times Locus Magazine has run its top SF of all time list, "Dune" has finished #1 both times. ("The Lord of the Rings" took the fantasy top spot). Below comments are IMO, "Dune" Excellent, a must read "Dune Messiah" Not as good, but okay. "Children of Dune" Better "God Emperor of Dune" Okay, but a hard read--much, much dialog and ponitification by the worm emperor. "Heretics of Dune" Not bad "Chapterhouse Dune" Just got it in a recent Amazon shipment--in my "to read" stack.
