I have been reading the Dune Messiah for years.... I feel like reading on would possibly ruin the sad perfection of the Dune Messiah for me.

Fixed that for you.
Yo Mama
...the sweeter the juice.
For me it is one of the greatest love stories ever told:
- Pauls non hoeing character.
- No pages long sex scenes.
- Paul and Chani's interactions.
- Pauls vision of the moon fallling out of the sky...
- Paul going out into the desert after Chani dies...
- My favourite genre...
Sigh/sob sob.
