In 1984 I saw the film "Dune", I'd never read the books beforehand.
It seemed to me that the film was a lot of chopped up shots with little to connect them.
I couldn't figure out how the different shots were related, I found it totally over my head and thus very schnooze-worthy.
Can anyone convince me I should read the books?

It did not accurately portray the book at all. The book is fantastic science fiction. It's also very thought-provoking. You should read the book just to dispel the bad impressions you got from the movie.
Why should I read "Dune"?

Dune is pretty clearly inspired by Islam and the Arab world.

I didn't say that the book dealt directly with America

How very clever and relevant to the discussion of whether or not the OP should read Dune!
