Alright, if you had like a class on it, thats fine.

Totally agree, I think you hit the nail on the head.

Without a doubt, it demands a lot from you, and this is coming from a guy who didn't take a class on it. It took me around a month to read all together, just to get a grasp of everything going on in each chapter. Having to dissect and really think about it made it overall one of the most enjoyable experiences with a book. If you're thinking of doing it, yeah, take a class, or do it along with some friends
