I'd say yes as a book that's still theory but on a distinctly different topic. It'd be like reading up on a book on the origins of religion and Christianity from a historical materialist perspective.

However it isn't a book you have to labour through like Capital. It is much more okay to skim it and vibe with it.

Origin of the family is a pretty short read and all about interesting stuff on the discussion of where the state and patriarchy come from so it goes by not too slowly. The chapter on the Iroquois is particularly interesting imo
