It is one of my favorite books in its genre. :) I can't really articulate exactly what draws me to it but I do find many of the political and philosophical ideas presented in it fascinating. The series is also worth reading as it expands the lore quite a bit and makes re-reading of the first book even more interesting.

Glad to hear how expansive the universe is. I read Ender's Game when I was in high school and I really hope Dune will grab me as much as that did. It's really interesting how many parallels to Native American genocide I'm picking up on as I rethink it's plot. I'm assuming Dune alludes to Oil production?
