Sometimes I get into these moods where I read as much as I can of one particular author in chronological order.

Always down with the RC.
Between other things I've been re-reading Dorothy Sayers' mysteries, which are a pleasing comfort to me at this stage of life. And dipping back into lesser Victorian detective fiction — I get into trouble going down Project Gutenberg wormholes and downloading bunches of books to my phone.

I also re-read Jeff Vandermeer's Borne as I recently picked up Strange Bird and Dead Astronauts, which are apparently set in the same world, but aren't necessarily sequels. Just started reading Strange Bird. I'm probably going back to Dune after Dead Astronauts, but I also picked up Asimov's Foundation, which might keep me away from Dune a little longer.

Yes, yes, YES!
Be sure to read the whole Foundation cycle (the 3 main books, the 2 prequels and the 2 sequels). To me it is the greatest book cycle of all time.
Re:Dune the first 3 books are the best (Dune, Messiah and Children), the other two by Herbert are still good. I read a couple of the sequels written after his death by Herbert's son and another author - whose name I don't recall right now- but never fully enjoyed those.
