I think the best way of getting through the Sil is to browse through it quickly the first time, so you get a general idea of the order of things, and then later, when you have a bit more time to devote, read it thoroughly the 2nd (and 3rd times). That way, you aren't bored to death the first time around, and you kind of know what to expect the second time.
