Never mind how important Dune is to the evolution of science fiction (although it is). Never mind about its immediate relevance, on multiple levels, to life right now (although this will strike you).
Read it because it's a ripping yarn, in a very fully, deeply imagined universe, with characters that will stay with you.
Hell, yes, it's worth reading.

That's what I liked about it too, it's just a great memorable story. It was the first book that I would stay up way too late at night to read.
