Some books are harder than others. Nishio is much more advanced than BakaTest, for instance. You will likely need to know a minimum of 1000 kanji and have studied 2-3 years (depending on pace) before you start on light novels.
Make sure you feel comfortable reading advanced manga like Monster and 20th Century Boys before you bother with books, though.
