Yes. Many kanji use the on readings such as 本 hon (book) and 毎日 my nichi (every day) You'll need to know both readings if you want to read Japanese effectively.
"my nichi"? :D
"my nichi" lol that made me chuckle.- lol, I didn't even notice... Engrish! *"mai nichi" My Japanese instructor would be appalled. ^^;;
Yes, you do. You really cannot avoid them if your aim is to be able to read Japanese.
But don`t take it as a chore by force-feeding your brain with thousands of onyomi. Just learn them gradually and in context and you`ll eventually get used to them.
