Hope you're enjoying it, it's my favourite of the series but I enjoy the philosophy pondering in that book. I can see why it's not for many readers though, and if Dune was hard to film I couldn't imagine trying to do that book without voiceovers of Leeto for more runtime than most studios and viewers would like.
GEoD is my personal favourite too.
There's just something about how much weirder it is.
My absolute favourite bit is when Leto is surprised by Duncan's lasgun. Of course a prescient being would love surprises.
He does say he only checks via prescient, in the book's time, to make sure they're still on the golden path so he can get surprised. That is one of my favourite bits as well, he sort of gapped out for a moment. Then later we get introduced to him talking about wool gathering when Moneo's mind wanders, that just made me ponder if that phrase was because he kept thinking about his surprise earlier in the story due to his own wool gathering. If I recall that phrase came up a few times in the series but I can't remember if earlier or later books.
Also if you think about it, never being surprised and living thousands of years would be quite boring and humanizes him in a way that most people would not think of since he's the worm.
