I'm new to scifi books, and books in general. (only got into reading 3 years ago) I've read dune, the dispossessed , a fire upon the deep and the stars my destination. I'm currently reading the left hand of darkness . What should i read next? Suggest me some of your must-reads.

Yes, i read Dune. But unfortunately it wasn't for me . I had a hard time understanding the prose as I'm a new reader.

Yeah Frank's writing is good but can be difficult I'm sure. The audiobooks are really good if you like those, they're fully-produced dramas with actors and effects and all that jazz.

I've been reading for over 30 years. I've tried and failed more times than I can count on one hand to read Dune, it's dry as a bone.
