I found these at the official homepage:

-HUNTING HARKONNENS, which describes the deadly hunt by the cymeks for Piers Harkonnen, takes place just prior to the events of THE BUTLERIAN JIHAD.

-WHIPPING MEK is a bridge spotlighting events in between THE BUTLERIAN JIHAD and THE MACHINE CRUSADE.

-THE FACES OF A MARTYR takes place just prior to the events of THE BATTLE OF CORRIN.

-A Whisper of Caladan Seas

The original six, the Dune Encyclopaedia, the stuff in Road to Dune.

Also the House prequels and about 97% of the Legends series, which I include in the list but grudgingly. There came a point in Battle of Corrin where it just got too bad to carry on. Now I won't touch anything published after that.

I agree. They could have left out Leto II, I didn't feel he had much of a function.

When I first read Chapterhouse, and there being mentioned the gene samples possessed by Scytale. I thought that if BH and KJA went further with this, it would ruin the whole story. But after reading the books, I felt it was appropriate to have some characters revived, but there were too many IMO.

also the baron was cool ;D But I think they made him a bit more perverted than FH intended him to be, and the impression one got when reading Dune and CoD.

The Baron did evil things yes, but not for the sake fo evil itself or some perverted pleasure he got from it, he did it to reach an  objective.
