Usually it takes me 3-4 weeks to finish a 800+ pg book. In contrast, even reading it alongside the Commentary, I've been on Hegel's Science of Logic for the last 5 months, and I'm only just shy of page 500.

Oh, my head.

Wos, are you pleasure reading? Or teaching classes from these texts. (Or perhaps both.)

Though Theology has its delectations and Philosophy its consolations, "pleasure" can sometimes (especially in Hegel) be in short supply. And though I think I have the knowledge-base to take a stab at teaching (I prolly got a rough analogue to a Bachelor's in Theology and a Master's in Philosophy), I'm not sure I've the skill-set or disposition for it.

Nevertheless, "pleasure" must cover it, considering that without at least a soupçon of intermittent joy, I'd have never suffered a 10 month wrestling-match with the text.
