I should ad Peralandra - C.S. LewisI agree. A beautiful story about Venus' "Eve" not falling into temptation as an allegory on what our world may have been like if Eve had resisted.

The first Dune book was good.
He should have stopped there instead of trying to milk it.

Lewis's biographer asked him which he considered his "best" and his "favorite" books. Best was
Perelandra, and favorite was its sequel,
That Hideous Strength. The twenty pages in Perelandra in which the devil tempts Eve are the best writing I've seen this side of Paul's letter to the Romans. Moses dispatches Eve's innocence in a paragraph, but Lewis's imagination was out-of-this-world.
