The above 3 books, plus of course Dune, are IMO his best works. I pretty much have all his books (I've been reading Herbert and other classic SF/fantasy authors since the early 70s) but these are the ones I most enjoyed.

I liked the Jesus Incident, but could barely plod through Hellstrom's Hive. It was just so cheesy like a very bad Xfiles show (were there any good ones that weren't totaly derivative?). Some of the other Dune books were of questionable merit, though good fun all 'round.

One thing you MUST read in sci fi is "Roadside Picnic." I think it could be the best sci fi story I've ever read and it follows the law of sci fi that the better it is the more difficult it is to find in print...
