They are very intelligent and capable works written by heathens. They are edifying in the way that the Classics are. However, Hinduism is a dangerous religion. Tread carefully as you read them.

If you want to get a feel for the remnants of early Aryan paganism, sure.

What if I'm having trouble understanding the Rigveda? Does this mean I'm dumb

Vedas are immensely obscure and difficult in Sanskrit. Literally untranslatable. Requires a great amount of study to understand the symbolism behind the language, so much so that much of modern Hinduism is completely obscured and misrepresentational of the original religion. and almost all translations to english are a spit in the face of the orignal text to make Hinduism seem inferior to Christianity during imperialism.
The Upanishads are much more clear and direct in ancient Hindu spiritual philosophy. Much more easily translatable, do some research and look for a good one. a good read.
