if the prose/poetry is too difficult and/or the text is a translation, I'll often just read a chapter-by-chapter/scene-by-scene summary-and-analysis of the work

why not? it's much easier to get something out of what they're saying if you have an idea of what they're going to say. it seems to me that being humble enough to admit you're having a hard time is going to serve you better than struggling through and hoping you've grasped it.

Acknowledging that you are having an hard time reading is not necessarily followed by reading other's analysis. If you read, I don't care. But I think that it is always better to have my own interpretation.even if I need to read the book 2,3,4 or 5 times.

Whoops! I missed the implication that op wasn't going to read the work after reading others analysis. I agree having your own interpretation is important.
