@hectorluera: Yes, you will be at a loss if you don't start from the first issue. That goes for most comic book runs.
I remember when I was getting into comics and I wanted to read all the current X-Men books. If that's what you want to do, awesome, but most people here(myself included) will tell you that the classic runs are more worth your time. If you like Bronze Age comics, then check out something like The Dark Phoenix Saga or Days of Future Past by Chris Claremont. These are the most famous X-Men story arcs, but they're dated and can be off-putting to modern readers. If that's the case for you, then maybe try something recent like Grant Morrison's New X-Men or Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men.
Oh, and forgive @hawk2916. We X-fans are jaded and bitter.
Edit: If you want, skim through this thread. It'll give you some good starting points.
