What rating range is best for reading My System?

I have heard differing opinions on Nimzowitsch's My System book. I've heard that it is a classic and the best book for me to read. I've also heard that I shouldn't read it yet as it is more aimed at higher rated players and should wait until I get stronger before I read it.

I have the My System/Chess Praxis double book. So far I have read the first 3 chapters of the book. I've found that you don't get anything out of it by skim reading it but by going through the examples very slowly there are various things that you can learn. Overall I don't yet feel I am significantly better as a player from reading the book, but I haven't gone far through it yet.

I have too many chess books and not enough time to read them all. I've heard that books like Yasser Seirawan's Winning Chess Strategies or Pandolfini's Weapons of Chess are more important reads at the moment, is that true?

If it is best to wait before reading My System, then what is a good rating to be at when reading it?

Almost nobody is in a position to answer a question like that. Each person only gets to develop their chess skills once. Some of us read that book early on because it was one of the few chess books kept in print for decades. Our local bookstores might have had a dozen chess books. The library about the same.  "My System" was practically unavoidable.

It is a book I have gone back to occasionally. It was not a book I reread 20 times.

Nowadays there are thousands of choices available to you. Where each book fits is an impossible question. Many people have read it and enjoyed it. There are multiple translations available. Some have made the games available online. 

There are dozens of previous thread about it in this forum.

But nobody gets the chance to read it for the first time more than once.

After some seraching, here are links to other threads on My System:

This makes me think that many of the people who evangelize the book are older players who read the book many years ago. I think if I rented that book out of the library when I was a young child, before the days of chess.com, and kept renewing it for a few months and really made the effort to learn the book in its entirety, then it might have raised my rating by 800 or even 1000 points. And if if that were the case then I would be one of the people praising it to the roof.

Are there any other books that you reread 20 times?

My opinion on an appropriate point in your chess development to read "My System" is presented in the following article.....(the short answer is - not too soon!)...

Good Positional Chess, Planning & Strategy Books for Beginners and Beyond...

https://www.chess.com/blog/RussBell/introduction-to-positional-chess-planning-strategy

Too many players, early in their chess careers, in their haste to become good at the game as quickly as possible, choose books which are not appropriate for their current knowledge and skill level.  That is, many chess books assume a level of knowledge that the lower rated player has not yet achieved, and as such will simply contain material that is mostly over their head. 

As an analogy this is like someone who has had no previous exposure to mathematics embarking on a study of the subject by selecting as their initial introduction a book on Calculus, when they have not yet studied and mastered arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry, which are all prerequisite to the study of Calculus. 

The beginner-novice chess player would be better served by slowly and solidly building their knowledge and skills foundation by starting with books by the likes of Pandolfini, Seirawan, and Heisman, to name a few, who specialize in writing books on the fundamentals of chess which are targeted to those who are in the initial stages of becoming proficient in the basics, prior to focusing on books intended for a higher level readership.  You must learn to walk before attempting to run.   Becoming good at chess is analogous to the story of the tortoise and the hare.   Emulating the hare (rabbit) will not work for chess.  Slow and steady will turn out best over the long run...
