	No bonus for the Dune Encyclopedia? :)

	I refuse to acknowledge there were any books past Frank Herbert (and possibly the Encyclopedia).

	@kmzh: Oh come on. Sure, the new dune books can't compare to the brilliance of the originals, but they're still decent stories in their own right in a fascinating universe. Brian Herbert has stayed true to Frank Herbert's vision way better than George Lucas did to his own IP with the Star Wars Episodes I-III. (And with that, let the nerd war begin!)

	Great quiz. Great books (at least the original six). @DWolf. J.K. Rowling and Judy Blume's writings are more challenging and interesting than Kevin Herbert's. I patiently read through Hunters of Dune, but couldn't finish Sandworms because by that time, I just couldn't care about the characters anymore. The story had become too diluted by the younger's universe to be followable (ie Daniel and Marty changing from facedancers to Kevin Herbert's weak Butlerian Jihad tie-in), not to mention the fact that I couldn't get the theme from Muppet Babies out of my head whenever the gholas made an appearance.

	Take this a step further... really even for Frank Herbert's books it was like he put 90 percent of his creative genius into Dune, 7 percent into Dune Messiah, 2 percent into Children of Dune, and trace amounts into the other 3.

	I look forward to the upcoming Brian Herbert-Todd McCaffrey collaboration, Dragonriders of Dune.

	apparently Dune 2: The Duning isn't a real book.... (WHAT HAVE I BEEN READING ALL THIS TIME THEN!?)

	@DWolf: That's funny, because George Lucas couldn't even keep up with the brilliance he lifted from Frank Herbert in the Star Wars Prequels.

	The first three are worth reading. The first is obviously the best, but the next two do provide some sort of closure.

	Chiaprofessor:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 19:25 GMT	1 point
	I agree that the first 3 are the ones which matter, God Emperor just seemed to be jumping the shark. And I couldn't stomach anything after that.

	chiaprofessor: I AGREE! it's sad that as much as i loved the first three the last 100 pages of god emperor were such a chore i never finished the original series

	Heh. Heretics and chapterhouse are about on par with the original in my book, i.e. amazing. The Kevin Anderson prequel trilogy is ok, but I kinda puked after Butlerian Jihad.

	wow, while i like all the books, i would have to say the last three are my favorites. well actually now i feel weird saying that. i really love them all.

	Fans of Arrakis, please try my quiz about characters from Dune. Feedback is appreciated :)

	Loved the origial and Chidren of Dune best. God Emperor is OK. A little too much philosophy and not enough actually happening. I think Dune Messiah is the most poorly written, but Heretics and Capterhouse are nearly incomprehensible and had waaaay too much icky sex (the reawakening of Miles Teg?). House Harkonnen was OK, but once I read the plot synopsis for Paul of Dune and Winds of Dune and I nearly started crying. And the Honored Matres? Ninja hookers from OUTER SPAAAAAACE!

	One great book, and a lot of pulp. ... A thousand deaths are not enough for Dr. Yueh!
