What’s the minimum rating one should be to get most out of 60 memorable games by Fischer?

Hi.

I have the book “My 60 memorable games” by Robert James Fischer (was given as a gift). What is the minimum rating that I should be (let’s say classical / rapid), to get the most out of this book?

I don’t really want to invest time studying a book if I’m too low rating to understand the contents.

Thanks!
Here's a wacky thought: why not just jump in and try it? If it's too deep, you should realize that pretty soon.
I leafed through it. It’s a bit light on explanations for moves. Kind of feel like I need to be a bit stronger to get more out of the book. I have other books that I want to look into / finish before touching Bobby’s work.
You cannot convert read pages into rating. Chess is more a practical discipline. You can read a chess book of course although without practicing nothing will happen.
