Why You Should Read Frank Herbert's Dune...And It's Sequels

Описание: Dune is a series that probably gives a bunch of different reactions, with everything from “I love Dune!”, to people shrugging it off as Dollar Store Star Wars.

But compared to some of it’s more famous brethren, Dune has always fallen by the wayside in the broader pop culture zeitgeist. Everyone knows what Dune is, even if they don’t realize it. But it’s still just short of being a household name.

However, Dune is only one part of a much grander story. The original Dune is the most famous, but it’s arguably only the first act of an entire saga.

If you’ve ever been remotely curious about Dune, then look no further! Dune has wormed it’s way into the imaginations of many, and for good reason. It’s one of the original sci-fi epics, and t’s worth experiencing for yourself.

In the interest of convenience, here’s a general outline of what to read in Dune!

Dune Reading Guides
1. Dune and Dune Messiah
-Dune and Dune Messiah are effectively one complete story. While it’s fine to stop at the original Dune, doing so would leave you with an incomplete picture of Frank Herbert’s main message. Dune and Dune Messiah are great for people who are interested in the original Dune, but unsure about committing to the others. This is also a good stopping point before the series gets REALLY weird.

2. Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, and God Emperor of Dune
-While Dune and Dune Messiah are one story, Dune to God Emperor marks the end of the Atreides Saga. God Emperor is the culmination of every book so far, and with these four books, you get a complete, satisfying Dune quadrilogy. This is the best stopping point if you want a complete story.

3. Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse Dune
-These are all of Frank Herbert’s Dune books, The later books are very weird and reveal a little too much about Frank’s fantasies, but they’re still solid books.

4. All of Dune
-There’s way too many books to list here, but if you really, REALLY want more Dune, you have a lot to choose from.
