Is it possible to read and understand being and time, a critique of pure reason, and phenominology of the spirit without any supplementary material or background on the books?

It would be like trying to read a calculus book with only a vague understanding of algebra. Hardly worth your time without first understanding the meaning of the symbols being discussed.
