Me too! Really enjoying it. The scope and detail of Herbert’s world is impressive. Looking forward to the movie.
Also recently read a good one by David Grann called “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI”. Historical account of the Osage Tribe in Oklahoma in the early 1900s, they secured the rights to all the minerals and resources in the land they were forcibly moved to, which happened to have a lot of oil, they became the richest people per capita on earth, and the systematic murder of dozens of them by local townspeople looking to take their money.
