  1. 3311
    Stiftelsen av Isaac Asimov (Patangel, JonTheTerrible, philAbrams)
    JonTheTerrible: The pace of these books are similar as well as the topics they cover: society and government. The science plays only a small role in both books but is present enough to successfully build the worlds in which the characters inhabit.
  2. 193
    Hyperion av Dan Simmons (corporate_clone)
    corporate_clone: It is difficult not to compare Dune and Hyperion, even though both series have major differences in terms of tone, style and philosophy. Those are two long, epic, elaborate and very ambitious sci-fi masterpieces where religion plays a key role. I would highly recommend the fans of one to check out the other.… (mer)
  3. 70
    The Faded Sun Trilogy: Kesrith, Shon'jir, and Kutath av C. J. Cherryh (reading_fox)
    reading_fox: Same basic sort of premise - SciFi set on desert worlds inspires the rise of a galactic empire, but very different outcomes!
  4. 82
    Stjärnporten av Frederik Pohl (Vonini)
  5. 40
    A Door Into Ocean av Joan Slonczewski (Anonym användare)
  6. 85
    Lord Valentine's Castle av Robert Silverberg (corporate_clone)
    corporate_clone: Both books are a subtle blend of science fiction and fantasy while being truly epic stories. Although Dune remains a superior literary achievement in my view, Silverberg's Majipoor series is a credible alternative.
  7. 41
    Grass av Sheri S. Tepper (MyriadBooks)
    MyriadBooks: For the description of the planet.
  8. 20
    Bright of the Sky av Kay Kenyon (amysisson)
    amysisson: Different in tone, but similar in scope, plus it's also about the lengths to which empires will go to maintain the status quo.
  9. 31
    The King Must Die & The Bull from the Sea av Mary Renault (themulhern)
    themulhern: Young man with special powers and noble blood overthrows the established order through cunning and charisma. In the process he changes his people and then the rot sets in.
  10. 31
    Där världen heter skog av Ursula K. Le Guin (andomck)
    andomck: Ecological science fiction.
  11. 21
    The Snow Queen av Joan D. Vinge (sandstone78)
    sandstone78: Similar tropes in the form of human computers and a native species capable of granting youth, and the powerful woman trying to breed a special child- The Snow Queen seems on one level a response to Dune, taking many of the same elements and twisting them around, while going in quite different directions in other ways.… (mer)
  12. 10
    Fever Crumb av Philip Reeve (themulhern)
    themulhern: Duncan Idaho is not so unlike Kit Solent
  13. 10
    Ringworld av Larry Niven (sturlington)
  14. 43
    Singularity Sky av Charles Stross (hyper7)
    hyper7: Singularity Sky could have been set in the Dune universe.

  16. 00
    Empire of Sand av Tasha Suri (susanbooks)
  17. 11
    The Broken God av David Zindell (whiten06)
    whiten06: Another coming-of-age story with the protagonist gaining god-like knowledge through the use of hallucinogens.
  18. 33
    The Lazarus Effect av Frank Herbert (d_perlo)
    d_perlo: So you have read Frank Herbert's Dune series and want more? Thy The Lazarus Effect, The Jesus Incident, and The Ascension Factor, also by Frank Herbert. This is his take on a water world.
  19. 34
    Sista riket av Brandon Sanderson (wvlibrarydude)
    wvlibrarydude: Substance gives power to individual. Lots of political intrigue with interesting characters.

    The Enterprise of Death av Jesse Bullington (Sandwich76)

“But wisdom tempers love, doesn’t it?”

SciFi isn't usually my go to thing... but on a whim I watched Dune and then it was driving me crazy I had no idea what was going on. So I bought the book. I have to say that I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot happening. We have religion, politics, betrayal, destiny, power plays, a dystopian-ish planet and a little romance. I really got immersed in the story which was amazing. I have to admit that I didn't anticipate liking it as much as I did. It took me a bit to adjust to all the language typical of SciFi stories and some things definitely went over my head in this book and I don't really understand. However, I think despite that it was a fantastic story. Paul's journey is really intriguing and watching him step into his destiny was a wild ride.

I think the vast array of characters was sometimes hard to follow and that was one of the reasons I gave this four stars instead of five. I had to make a chart of all the characters just to make sure I didn't get confused. I also really felt sometimes the big plot points with Paul got a bit confusing, and maybe that's just because I'm not a huge SciFi reader. The book shifted perspectives to give us all the different elements of the story and I really enjoyed this part, because it was often a nice breather from the Paul journey. I wasn't a fan of the start of the book because it felt like it was dragging a bit but it really made up for it after the first little bit and so much happened. I have to say with all that took place in the first book I don't even know what is left to happen but I am looking forward to finding out! ( )

A magnificent piece of literature. Astonishing.

My own take though? As good as it is, I think the climaxes of the two film versions are improvements on the last twenty pages or so of the book. ( )

I read this a long time ago and barely remember it, so I queued up the audiobook for a revisit. The audiobook is well done. There’s a full cast doing voices for the major characters, which makes it much easier to keep track of the dialogue.

Dune is a sci-fi classic with lots to like. Unique world building, interesting constraints on technology that bring strategy and characters to the fore, and lyrical descriptions of desert life that really captured my attention.

There’s also a lot of dated and offensive assumptions that I couldn’t help but notice. The world of Dune is built on colonialism, patriarchy, rigid gender roles, inherited social class, and a fair amount of condescension and racism expressed by the ruling class and their attendants towards the Fremen of Arrakis. Paul is the creation of generations of eugenic manipulation by the Bene Gesserit and he’s repeatedly described as a “born special” hero.

Edit: I forgot to mention that Herbert describes the big villain of the story as a monstrously fat, gay pedophile. Just, ugh.

It’s still an impressive work of imaginative fiction, but the dated elements are intrusive, and distracted me from the narrative. I remind myself that a lot has changed in the world since the book’s original publication in 1965.

Finally re-read this after close to 30 years.
Definitely had forgotten a lot of the main plot and am sure I appreciated the story a lot more this time around.

But, still sticking to 3 stars.
Maybe that says I'm not sophisticated enough to appreciate it, or not interested enough in the religious undertones, etc.

Whatever.

I rate the books purely on my own enjoyment, and had to rate this lower than my most recent reading.

However, given that Dune Messiah is a fair bit thinner, I'll continue on with it and then make a decision after that.

At this stage I doubt I'll complete the original 6 books or the prequel trilogy, but shall see.

A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows. To begin your study of the life of Muad'Dib, then, take care that you first place him in his time: born in the 57th year of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. And take the most special care that you locate Muad'Dib in his place: the planet Arrakis. Do not be deceived by the fact that he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there. Arrakis, the planet known as Dune, is forever his place.
from "Manual of Muad'dib" by the Princess Irulan

To the people whose labors go beyond ideas into the realm of "real materials" - to the dry-land ecologists, wherever they may be, in whatever time they work, this effort at prediction is dedicated in humility and admiration.

Citat

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.
Let us not rail about justice as long as we have arms and the freedom to use them.
The thing the ecologically illiterate don't realize about an ecosystem is that it's a system. A system! A system maintains a certain fluid stability that can be destroyed by a misstep in just one niche. A system has order, a flowing from point to point. If something dams the flow, order collapses. The untrained miss the collapse until too late. That's why the highest function of ecology is the understanding of consequences.
The willow submits to the wind and prospers until one day it is many willows — a wall against the wind. This is the willow's purpose.
