I'm currently reading the Tale of Genji. So far it's been one of the more challenging (and certainly longest) books I've ever tried to read, but I am enjoying it.

I love the Tale of Genji and have three different translations. I generally prefer the Royall Tyler.
It might be best to approach Heian literature through shorter works. The Diary of Lady Murasaki, or The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, for example.
