Yes, don't bother "doing" them, in the sense that you shouldn't try to memorize everything inside (because you will probably forget them anyway unless you see them "in action" in-text). Dictionaries are simply reference tools to look up specific things. That said, if you want to read them from cover to cover, there's no harm in doing so either.

The great thing about books is that you can read them multiple times. That sounds kind of silly, but hey, I try to re-read everything at least once because I always find myself noticing details that I neglected for whatever reason the first time around.

Oh, and this post is written by someone who was also motivated to learn Japanese because of light novels. Still a long way to go before I can read without putting up a bit of a fight, but I'm getting there.
