This is a limited edition Dune 2 popcorn bucket, and not... anything else.

Anyway, Seeeems like an interesting movie. Though I haven't seen the first one
I started reading them all back to back almost 20 years ago. Got about 50 pages into Chapterhouse and burnt out… I’ve been telling myself for almost 20 years that I am going to to go back and read them again…Dude, trust me. The first movie was very good, and I'll be seeing #2 as soon as possible.
But first, read the books.
I say again:
Read the books.
I think "read the books first" is maybe even more important for Dune than for Lord of the Rings. You'll have an amazing reading experience, and you'll enjoy the movies even more when you see them. (Besides, the first movie was just half of the first book in the original trilogy. I expect Villeneuve will need 4 more movies after this #2 one, if he wants to at least go that far. That's a lot of waiting.)
I would recommend you either read the original trilogy and stop, or read the original trilogy plus "God Emperor of Dune," and stop.
The series gets weaker after that and there's some posthumous plugging of gaps by Frank Herbert's son in the later books, so if you're a fanatic by that point you might read them anyway, but really it's the first four books that are "the story" for me. I first consumed "Dune" in 8th grade, 1979-80 school year.

I will have to disagree.
Villeneuve's Dune is a good movie, and I definitely recommend it, and will definitely watch the second part on premiere week - but in my opinion it's not a good adaptation of Dune. I get some of the omissions, and I'm not against making changes in adaptations, but some of the changes here I really don't get, and they range from pointless to confusing to downright nonsensical. Again, good movie, not an accurate portrayal of Herbert's universe, lacks a whole bunch of reasons I love the books.
My honest recommendation is to watch the move(s) first, and then read the books. You'll enjoy the movie and then have the books fill up the (many, many, many) gaps.
