It's a little unruly, but having it omnibus form is for reading it straight through. It's a long run, something like 13 trades all together.
I gave up "X-Books" about 15 years ago, but a friend made me read part of that run... and it sucked me right back in. It had the same excitement, for me, as when I first read those characters so many years ago. Marvelous bit of storytelling, amazing dialogue, and some truly profound and touching moments.
I cannot recommend this series highly enough.
Some classics, in chronological order:
Many of those stories were depicted in the animated series, were written around the same time or just after (more than ten years ago).
In 2001, Grant Morrison started writing New X-Men. A few years after that Joss Whedon started writing Astonishing X-Men (Links are to collected editions). These are my two favorite recent X-Stories. Morrison really takes things in a different direction and did a great job accounting for how the presence of mutants would change culture. Whedon's run is fun cause it brings his brand of humor and understanding of heroes to an already established universe (and one that obviously inspired Buffy).
If you have other questions about what to read, drop me a line.
