I can not, can NOT, stand Pinky and the Brain's bastardization of FH's work.
ah...your one of "those"
i did not like the final two books following up the original series, they pretty well sucked. all of the prequels however i thought were excellent.
Yeah, Dune is a great stand alone.
Dune Messiah is a fairly boring (albeit short) book.
Children of Dune is pretty awesome.
God Emperor of Dune is a hard read...not a lot happens, but if you can get into the mindset of what i'd be like to live under that sort of tyranny...under a God who can see the future, who can never die, who can never be surprised or tricked or killed....makes the story that much more intense.
Heretics of Dune - bizarre, sex-slaves, nuked planets, super-speed Miles Teg...it's a very very different feel. I mean, no Fremen?! Just Fremen museums. Argh.
Chapterhouse: Dune - only interesting because FINALLY, after thousands of years, the Bene Gesseritt are FINALLY worth their salt. Redemption for them. Liked this much more than HoD, but still it's a tough read.

There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.
