Definitely, yeah, there is a lot of action. I just meant that the books seemed to consist of either action scenes, or very static scenes that were just two people discussing politics. I mean, they all do to some extent I guess, but to more of an extreme in these books.

Yeah, Frank Herbert had some odd blind spots, especially around sexuality. I remember being a little shocked by his homophobia even back in the 1980s.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I enjoyed the last three books much more than the first three.

I remember visiting my girlfriend's family in Cincinnati years ago, and pretending to enjoy many, many bowls of Skyline chili. Good times.
