I should read Dune again, I read it a long time ago and it didn't impress me.
Is it possible just to read Dune and not any of the sequels? I read Hyperion and the Fall of Hyperion and I felt I should have stopped at Hyperion and not read the sequel. i did not think it added anything, just finished the story, but I liked the way Hyperion ended.
