Read the first four Dune books. Generally enjoying them, but God Emperor was testing my patience a bit.
Should I read the last two for completion's sake? I heard they're not as good.
Serious question; Why is this so highly regarded in sci-fi circles? Is it just that it came out during a bad era for sci-fi and has become a sacred cow?

Pretty much. Most sci-fi was dreadful aside from the big names. Even Herbert's other non-books are unremarkable.
