Personal experience:
I read the HoMEs in order, which I thought was the logical thing to do (and I still do).
I'm very proud of my mastery of the English language, but BoLT 1 and 2 were the toughest books I've had to wrestle, a tad harder than the King James version of the Bible.
After that, though, it was smooth sailing. I've quoted from those two more than from any other HoME.
(Vzv, due to geographical constraints, I have only the first six HoMEs. Go figure where I'll get the rest. And to think HoME X is très interessant . . . but I fear I digress.)
