I grew up reading Dune. I read a lot of them, including the prequels Frank Herbert's son and Kevin J Anderson cooked up. I read a lot of sci fi in general, to be fair. But Dune was something my mum and I shared an interest in, so it was different somehow. Fantasy, epic, image, allegory, a great sense of historicity and somewhat surreal edge to it all. It certainly shaped my horizons, though I read a lot of discontinuous stuff as a kid, having parents who didn't really follow any rule book or canon per se.
