I've been reading this for about 6 months now, and about half way through...
... and I still don't quite get what it is that I'm reading about!
(During which time I have also read 1984, Brave new World, Robinson Crusoe, an Iris Murdoch novel, one book on Geology, Wuthering Heights, and The Call Of The Wild)
Tedious, hard going, and like wading through treacle to read.
Don't bother with this, read something else instead :)
