Love the original series of six books. When I started reading it in 1969, I really
jumped into writing my own science fiction in a big way. In the mid-80s, I sat
with Herbert at a restaurant and we talked mostly about Zen and how much of
it appeared in the books.
His son and Kevin Anderson have left me with a sour taste with their handling
of the series of prequels, interquels, and sequels of their own, but I've tried to
ignore those whenever I reach for the original worlds. My sweetheart's a big fan
as well (and feels the same way about the books outside the original six).
