That's great, and Dune remains my favorite fictional work of all time. I really like all 5 of the series (which is all that has ever been written), even if 3-5 take place so far in the future of the universe that they're almost not sequels.

From what I understand there are myths about other books but they should not be sought out or spoken of. Sometimes, epic time jumps are what makes a series. I'm excited to see where it goes! The ending of Dune has me thinking Maud'Dib has embraced the Jihad he foresaw.

I won't spoil Dune Messiah (which I hope you're starting soon if you haven't already!), but I'll just say the answer can best be described as "yes and no."

I plan on picking up the rest of the series this weekend!

Excellent. I love this series, so will talk about it for days. But I'll try to wait 'til you're farther along :)
