No, not me.
For what it's worth ... I am old enough to have read
Dune when it came out, but I was in a different reading phase at the time. I'm just fairly certain that I've missed out on the opportunity of having Dune be
influential to me and my reading. And who wants to be merely
entertained by something that
inspired so many in its prime? It'd sort of be like hearing Led Zeppelin for the first time at some rich kid's graduation party in the early '80s with friends who had conceived their children at their concerts in the '70s. We'd be seeing and hearing the same thing, but my friends would probably be much more "wowed" by their performance than I was.
P.S. And I'm not one to give a lot of literary credit to what many refer to as "In Depth World Building."
