I'd read these in high school; recently, I started on a reread inspired by, as in your case, people whose taste I trust (I'm thinking queenofthorns and menikoff) -- I had a tough time with the first as well, even with youthful memories of loving them. The second went a lot better, but I've been interspersing them with lots of other stuff.
Lymond nearly lost me, though, when he made a completely anachronistic reference to, I believe it was mesmerism (named after someone who lived centuries later) or possibly something vaguely Freudian.
