@CamestrosFelapton Honestly, I remember extremely clearly when I started reading this series, and why, even if young me didn't have a firm grasp of all the various factors that went into my decision. Though I will defend it enough to say I read the first two rapidly, waited for the third to come out, then the 4th made me far less inclined to keep going. I've still never finished it (gave up ~7 I think).

I also read the entire Dune series in one night to impress a guy I had a crush on, so...
