Dune: The Butlerian Jihad - Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson (The war against thinking machines thousands of years before the original dune series).
I dont know why this book got so much flak, I think it's great so far.

The Icewind Dale Trilogy - R.A. Salvatore
I finally managed to pick up a FR book. So far it's pretty great.

You should read the Dark Elf Trilogy first. Homeland, Exile, and Sojourn are the prequils to Icewind Dale. There's like 15+ books all together. I suggest reading them all.

Dangit, and I thought IWD was the first one. :/

Atleast I can say that book rivals most school textbooks.

R.A. did a StarWars. He wrote IWD, then went back and did a trilogy starting at Drizzt's birth with Homeland, and Sojourn leaves off where IWD starts. The Dark Elf Trilogy are the best three of them all.

It got flak because it's a cheap imitation of the Dune series made by wunna be's (even if one of them is his own son).

The new Dune books can't even be compared in the same bracket as the original Dune series (Dune, Dune Messiah, etc, etc, Chapterhouse: Dune).

You won't find anywhere near the religious, scientific, or political contexts as were found in the first one. They just seem.. shallow in comparison.
