I got this book because it seemed like a cool edition of The Foundation Trilogy. I later discovered that it glows in the dark when I turned the lights off to go to sleep.

Ive tried to get thru dune a few of times but it hasnt clicked for me yet, I'll use your comment as a reminder that I need to give it another go :)
What slowed me down a lot with Dune were the many different, unfamiliar names. Once that clicked, the story started unfolding by itself and I could not stop myself reading. It’s been a long time since I first read the original books, but I think I finished all six of them in less than a month. I hope it clicks for you too!
I was surprised how different Dune Messiah is from Dune, that made me stop after second chapter.
I finally got through the series using the audio books, I stopped with Chapterhouse Dune.
