Cheers for the response. I've actually been thinking about this a fair bit recently and figure that I might as well give them a shot.
DenGlanzig-
Trust me don't bother. I loved Dune, but the sequels are awful. Third book in the series is about the best, but still poor.
Slaughterhouse Five - after years of putting it off got round to reading it - meh.
Currently reading Perfidia, part one of a new LA Quartet by James Ellroy, starts the day before Pearl Harbour - 20% in and great so far.

This is a very late response.... But.
The dune sequels are brilliant, way more intricate and complex because they don't need as much world building faff. They develop much deeper into the plot and subjects that the first book tackled. Maybe avoid the none Frank Herbert stuff though, it just doesn't sit as well. Children of Dune is perhaps the best in the series and Chapter House probably the worst.
