Why do you feel as though you ought to read it? Best to think of PM like any other academic text, I reckon: primarily in conversation with contemporary issues/works, brimming with presuppositions of shared knowledge because of this, and unlikely to be of any great interest to a non-specialist. PM of course is no ordinary academic text, but I don't think it's an exception here.
