Welcome, Strider.
Have you tried the other Dune-related books? -eg. House Atreides, House Harkonnen.
Perhaps you could be more specific about what you're looking for. i.e. What aspect of the Dune Trilogy did you like? - the mythic/religious nature, the epic battles, the political intrigue of the family "houses"?

For an older classic, you might try the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov. It's one of my long-time favourites. Lots of political intrigue. Considered slow-moving by some, but I like the way Asimov develops his universe and eventually brings everything together.
His Robot books are also good.
I'm sure others have more suggestions for you. Take a look at the thread about favourites in the Sci-fi section. You can find it here:

By all means, post away! It's difficult for everyone to finish the designated book at the same time. Also, we are constantly getting new members and it gives them a chance to contribute to the various threads.Off-Topic: Can we post in any of the threads in this section, even if the book isnt Book of the Month anymore??
