Its absolutely worth reading, and even if it weren't its hardly a slog of a read. That said, it has some great moments (the story of his rejection of Jeanne D'arc, his sexual obsession with St. Sebastian and its playing out throughout his life, his internal monologues about his inability to reconcile aesthetic and sexual beauty, his monologue about suicide). The Weatherby translation is going to be the most common and reads fine.

Very worth reading. One of my favorite works of his, personally; however, I haven't read Golden Pavilion or the tetralogy.
It's an authentic perspective on the experience of sexual abnormality in a culture that essentially demands normality. Japan's courtship process is stiflingly formal. That said, the book is heartbreaking at times.
