    I 💜 Frank Herbert. He is one of all-time favourite writers. Other than the Dune stuff, The Santaroga Barrier and The Godmakers I also highly, highly recommend.

    I can’t remember whether the Mentats also depended on the Spice, or was it just the Bene Gesserit and Guild? There was something that Mentats took regularly, it stained their lips.

    I honestly read only Dune by Frank Herbert, but after this I think I might have to read the ones you suggested too. ;-)

    Yeah... that Mentat stuff... what was that again, it was some kind of juice... Sapho juice!!

    I went to look it up after reading your post and realised my copy Dune has disappeared. Maybe I lent it to someone... I don’t know.

    I think I might like to go back and read God Emperor of Dune again. I think there’s quite a bit of really good stuff in that book.

    It felt like the ‘2nd trilogy’ (God Emperor, Heretics, and Chapter House) was taking a very critical mirror to Imperial Christianity in a way, and comparing it to Pharaonic Egypt. That could also just be my own filters though 😉
