"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.
