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!

    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.
