I have read all of the Frank Hebert novels several times and adore them. Even God Emperor of Dune. I have never read any of the Brian novels because I hear they are such trash. But now 40 years after first reading Dune I am starting to question that decision. Should I?

They're pretty okay, definitely expands on the universe, so if you just can't get enough Dune, I'd say give 'em a go!
