You should read the count of monte cristo, it’s in an entirely different league in terms of writing compared to Dune. The philosophy is transparent, the tactics and strategy are basically nonexistent, and the sociology is missing any kind of coherence.

In your second sentence, which book are you referring to?
Dune.
I have read it. Yeah it is a better book, but there's few that measure up.

Dune isn't as bad as you imply IMO. To each their own though. It probably helped that I read Dune for the first time when I was young.

The irony of Dumas is that his father's life is almost more interesting than any of the plots of his books
