I love Dosadi and all the Busab books, anything by Herbert that isn't Dune, the trashier the better. "A Pattern Language" had very little impact on architecture but a huge impact on software design.

“Sapiens” read it twice, wish I could go back in time and give it to 18yr old me. “The Dosadi Experiment”, probably 5 life-changing concepts just tossed in for flavor. “A Pattern Language” on how spaces inform life and life informs spaces.

Dune is fantasy >_> God Emperor of Dune was my favorite even though it was the most preachy. I thought the original Dune was a bit preachy being so strongly allegorical and all. I prefer Herbert's other novels like Whipping Star/The Dosadi Experiment
