I am of a mind to read only Frank Herbert's "Dune" books, plus "Hunters"/"Sandworms of Dune". Is this a bad idea? Or can books 7 & 8 be read / understood / enjoyed without having read any of the prequels? (Please, no answers based on hate for these sequels. I'll want to make up my own mind about them. I just want to know whether I'll be hampered by ignorance of the prequels' plots & details.)
