Yes, Linux CAN read the NT filesystem, but the driver hasn't been released
yet (waiting for v2.1).

There is a book "Inside the Windows NT file system" by Helen Custer,
ISBN 1-55615-660-X , but it's not very good (not enough detail).

The driver works, quite well, but there is still a lot to do.
If you want to help you could join the mailing list.
