Dune is a great book, shlin. Herbert does close to no exposition, so your first read can be a little tough. Note that this laudable brevity disappears by book #3.
Finished The Triumph of Caesar. It never really got going. I may have to give up on this series. Moved on to Jane Mayer's The Dark Side, which is exactly as depressing as you might guess it would be.
Interestingly, nobody from the Bush administration has bothered to refute the book, or even say it's untrue. Looks as though they're hoping it will go away if they just ignore it. Needless to say, Ms. Mayer has tons of on-the-record quotes and original documents. Depressing stuff.
