I just listened to Dune as an Audiobook. It was my third time through Frank Herbert's sci-fi masterpiece, and I still love it. I honestly think it is one of the best books of the 20th century.
The thing I love about Dune is the politics. The complicated layers of personal vendetta, family honor, tribal structure and religion. It is a very real universe that is set up in a single book. I like it better than George Lucas's Star Wars universe but it has the same kinds of detail, only it is layed out concisely in a single work.
The Audio Renaissances recording is a very good one, it uses a cast rather than single narrator but it does it in a way that blends very well.
