Reading order?
Does anyone have a reading order which makes the most sense for someone who's never read or watched anything Dune? Thank you in advance!

Dune
Dune Messiah
Children of Dune
God Emperor of Dune
Anything beyond that is extremely optional
"extremely optional" lol very true
The published order. Always.
As someone currently reading the books for the first time I chose publication order.
The original 6
The House trilogy
The Butlerian Jihad
Hunters of Dune
Sandworms of Dune
After a first read through, I started just reading them chronologically.
I know there's at least one more trilogy that you can throw after The Butlerian Jihad. I found it more forgettable than the rest of these.
Unless you're REALLY jonesing for more Dune and can stomach books written at a 3rd grade level and missing the point of the originals, you can stop after the original 6.
