I started with Dune because I just wanted to give my mind the right way to have it set from the very beginning thinking I might not "get" things if I started with The Butlerian Jihad, but as I've been going through all of these, I think that one can start with The Butlerian Jihad if they choose to do so, and when they get to Dune can appreciate it even more as it becomes the culmination of what they had read before leading up to it. As I've been going through these I've gone back to Dune and have even re-read it for clarity. I'm comparing everything - whether written just by Frank or something written by both Brian and Kevin - against the very first Dune novel. With Sisterhood of Dune coming out in January as the first book in a new trilogy, I'd set those upcoming books between Dune: The Battle of Corrin and Dune: House Atriedes. Maybe I'm not reading it as other people would suggest, but I've been enjoying it greatly just reading things chronologically. The Road to Dune (not a novel, but was published just before the next two books and after almost everything else before this, so I will read it at this point rather than any other time) I'll leave out the short stories and only focus on the actual books here: I read Dune first, then I went back and have been reading everything else in chronological order.
I haven't decided where to place Sisterhood of Dune in the list - it will go either at the end of 'remote past' or at the end of of the whole list, in a new block.Īs a new reader in the past couple of years now, I'll tell you how I'm reading them. Also, I read the short story A Whisper of Caladan Seas after Dune, but do not include it in this list, because I advise against reading it. I actually read Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune first, then proceded to Paul of Dune and Winds of Dune. I have already deviated slightly from this ordering because of convenience and uncertainty. Dune: The Faces of a Martyr (short story) I'm trying it as an experiment, following chronological order in blocks starting from Dune: 'present', 'immediate past', 'remote past', 'future'.
