Absolutely. The Quran is as good a place to start as any. I would recommend that you seek out an accompanying guidebook however as the Quran is all revealed-in stark contrast to the scriptures and can be heavy going for some. The Quran differs in a fairly substantial way from the scriptures in that......in its entirety, it records revelation delivered to the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) through the Angel Gabriel. The deeds of the Prophet, his life and his teachings are to be found in seperate publications known as the Hadith. A good accompaniment to the Quran would be "The Path of Muhammad : A Book On Islamic Morals & Ethics" written by the 16th Century Islamic mystic Imam Birgivi. ISBN-13 978-0-941532-68-6.
P.S The Quran should always be stored/kept clean, never be allowed to rest below the feet and should never touch the floor.
p.s Muslims are obliged to love and respect all of the prophets from Adam all the way through to Muhammad (p.b.u.h) so I would encourage a reading of the Torah/Talmud/Gospels/Apocrypha as well!
