I keep meaning to read this but with all the funky character names, dynasties, political groups, locations, histories, etc. I always end up putting it down out of frustration. Will give it another try when I get some downtime.
I had the same problem when I first picked up Game of Thrones but persisted with it and ASOIAF became probably my favourite series.
Definitely go back to it. If you got over those issues with ASOIAF then you can do it with Dune. Also, remember, Duncan Idaho is Patrick Stewart. That could help.

Actually Gurney Halleck is Patrick Steward.
Omg, my entire perception of the books has changed. Fuck. Now I have an ass load of re-reading to do.
If you can get into it, I've found Dune to be one of those novels that I keep coming back to re-read again and again.
