@mngrif bro i have /got/ to read dune. i keep going "oh yeah everyone loves these i should try" and then not doing it. that, ursula le guin and dragonriders of pern at the top of my sci fi fantasy why-haven't-you-read-this-yet list
@myconidiosyncracy Dune is brilliant, it's one of the two books that temporarily altered my basic perception of reality. For a couple of weeks after reading it I was struck with awe everytime I saw a body of water.
The drawback is that the book conveys the aridity of the world so well, that I don't remember almost anything else about it. There was some psychodelic drug and something about not sitting with your back to the door, but I remember literally nothing else.
