Read 2 times. Last read August 25, 2020 to September 6, 2020.
Epic. Brilliant. While making my way through this story, it was all I wanted to do in life.
I listened to the audio, but also picked up a hardcopy book at the library to check names, spellings, and read the appendices in the back of the book. The glossary in this edition was very helpful in keeping all of the mythology and worldbuilding straight.

ETA on 2nd reading (9/5/2020): Still struck with the overall story. I understood a lot more this time around - no doubt since I've continued reading the series since initial reading in 2018. Looking forward to Villaneuve's film even moreso now. I was able to picture many of the actors as the characters while re-reading.

I remember reading this when I was 14 or so. Blew my mind.
OH MY! This was phenomenal. I'm off to Dune Messiah.
