Learning the Cyrillic Alphabet is not as challenging as it seems. It takes most students a couple hours. Once you memorize sounds letters make you will be able to easily read in Russian. Learning basic Russian will definitely take more time, but is truly worth doing especially if you have so many Russian/Russian related books on your list.
