Reading Dune books ATM and the original is one of my all-time favorites. But fuck me, Dune Messiah is incomprehensible. It's 80% about Paul navel gazing. I'd read a paragraph and think, "I have no idea what that is supposed to mean." 80% of the words in the book hit me like that.
I read Dune in a book club, and honestly for the majority in the club even the first book was near incomprehensible. The group absolutely hated not understanding any of the nomenclature it throws at you from the start, and there's was a lot of discussion that started "stick with it you'll get used to it."
I fucking love dune but took a few attempts to buy in and get through it. Glad I did though.
i forced myself through dune. i never got used to it. it all felt like a waste of time right through the end.
