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!

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.
