Can a person with average intelligence understand a book of Shakespeare?

I’ve been thinking about buying yet another book when I’ve not finished four other ones yet. I’d like to get to know Shakespeare but I’m concerned I won’t understand it or it’ll be too boring . I’m no genius but I’m not stupid either. Should I take a whack at it? Your opinions mean a lot to me. I don’t take your answers for granted at all. Thanks so much for helping me out with this.
