Welcome, Crizius! I see that the Dune demotivators on this board have a great success :D
Soon you will be stormed by other users' welcome messages (many of them live on the other side of the planet with respect to the ours, I still have to get used to this asynchrony). ;)

May Shai-Hulud Clear the Path Before You.

Welcome! God Emperor is a tough read for some people the first time through, just take it slowly and let it sink in.

Welcome. Twice welcome.

I'd like to ask, are you reading the Dune series in English, or a Lithuanian translation?
I don't think the author should make the reader do that much work - Kevin J. Anderson

There’s an unwritten compact between you and the reader. If someone enters a bookstore and sets down hard earned money(energy) for your book, you owe that person some entertainment and as much more as you can give. - Frank Herbert
