As much a fan of Frank Herbert that I am, I tried on several separate occasions to read (get into) Dune, but each and every time I could get no further than page 17 (softcover version).
I finally threw in the towel and watched (repeatedly) David Lynch's movie version from 2 decades later and found it to be superb, but then I'm a fan of Lynch's macabre/bizarre/kinky approach.
At some point I'll give the book another go.
