Different problem, but when I was at Kōgakkan I met a grad student studying Genji and asked her what she thought of 宇治十帖. She told me she was only working on a single chapter for her thesis and hadn't read the rest. I hope she got to read it all at some point.
Interesting! I wonder if someone engaged in serious philological research of one part of Genji was being humble and/or was worried that answering your question would imply she had read it in the original? That said, yes, that is certainly quite a different problem（笑）
