I had a different experience but also similar in a way. Always heard about Dune and that I should read it, but it always seemed... not that deep. Sandworms and drugs. “Alright, yea, whatever“, I arrogantly scoffed, “I can get the same experience the same at a nudist beach.“ But then my best friend started talking about it a lot and quoted it (from the top of his head too, and not just lines, but whole dialouges) and then he basically acted out the “Damn the Romans“ dialouge from God Emperor and I was hooked. Actually he got me with the interview of the Ixian historian (he and I both study history and the line “The ultimate appeal to a historian“ reverberated in my soul). And the book is difficult at the start, since it's so much to learn, but once it gets going it gets *going.*

I actually finished it back in Dec. 2021. Now I’ve been on Dune Messiah for 1.5 years
