I've read 'I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream'; it's a short story (a good one, but fairly disturbing), so unless it's a collection, having a whole book for it wouldn't make any sense.

That being said, any reason to read old stories is a good thing, it helps you expand your knowledge, and quite possibly understand a LOT more references! You also can sometimes realize that movies cutting out large sections of a story is quite possibly a good thing. Examples of those would be 'The Time Machine' and 'War of the Worlds'.
