Pretty basic but I just started reading Dune. It's been a daunting series for me with how long it is but better late than never.

Enjoy the ride! I still reread the first 5 every few years. They just get richer with time, especially the last couple. They seemed bizarre the first time I binged them but they make sooooo much more sense on rereads.

They are SO bizarre so far. I noticed the appendix seems to give a bunch of extra information on the various factions/organizations in the universe. My question, do you think it's worth doing more research on the universe beforehand or go blind for my first read?

Just go blind and enjoy the characters. The politics can wait for later reads. I treat the Witcher novels the same way.

Fair enough. I have been so far so I will continue to do just that. Thanks!
