I would say that there is no worth reading literature you dont enjoy. If you read a book and dont understand it, but think it is enjoyable you will find some worth in it. If you form no connection with a book due to loathing it, you will carry nothing away from it.

Example off of the top of my head: Rimbaud's Season in Hell. I make no claims of understanding, but what a fucking enjoyable poem.

No, the worth is in putting in the effort to understand it.

You would be like a toothless man sucking on the hairy outer rind of a coconut: unequipped to extract the goodness within.
