I've been rereading the Dune novels (because I never did read the last one and it's been a while). Since I have read them before, but it's been so long, I've been skipping ahead at times to read the final chapters (something I never do with other books). I've found that refreshing my memory of how it ends improves my enjoyment of the books quite a bit, as I can really appreciate the Herbert's craft in getting there. Similar to ancient Greek plays and epics, where everyone knows the story, it allows me to focus on the performance and the details of foreshadowing, hinting, and flow.
