How should I read the #Dune series?

HOW SHOULD I READ THE DUNE SERIES? Greetings, friend. Looks like you're wondering how exactly you should tackle one of the most revered sci-fi series of all time. This guide should clear things up. OPTION 1: The Sampler You keep hearing about how great this ‘Dune’ thing is, you're vaguely aware David Lynch made a movie out of it. You've heard the Litany Against Fear. You're probably turned off by sci-fi, but you'll give this one a chance. OPTION 2: Muad’Dib’s Story So you've just finished Dune and you enjoyed it. Or you at least like Paul as a character and you wanna see how that plays out. Luckily Messiah exists, and it's damn short. You can consider it a ‘Book 4’, an epilogue to the events of Dune. OPTION 3: The Golden Path There is no reason to actually read Children of Dune unless you're gearing up for The Big One: God Emperor. Widely considered almost as good as Dune (and many would say even better, making it the true masterpiece of the series), anyone with a high tolerance for weird shit should go this route. OPTION 4: I Love Frank Herbert It's clear you're really into Dune at this point. You know the quality drops off fairly significantly after God Emperor, right? I mean, it's still written by Frank, so it’s not too bad. Above-average. They aren’t going to make you question the entire series’ quality retroactively, or anything. OPTION 5: I Love Dune, But Clearly Don’t Respect Frank Please, for the love of the God Emperor, don’t do this. These are utter trash.

Everyone go home and logoff, this meme wins the internet for today.

Meme. Photo of Baron Harkonnen from Dune. Text : I quite like the 1984 film version of Dune, but the characters are a bit far fetched. An obese orange diseased peadophile starting a war for his own selfish needs. Come on.
