Dune

No way around it — Dune is probably the best science fiction I’ve ever read.

I love Dune, but Frank Herbert – a genius writer – was obviously tripping balls writing that book.
The book is worth reading for its own sake, and it's particularly worth reading (in my opinion) to get a sense of how it has impacted so much of sci-fi and pop culture.
