I did something similar when I read "The Powerbroker," which is 1300 dense pages. I was fascinated by it, and I learned an enormous amount of information, but I knew from the beginning that it was at least a four month commitment. (Most of my reading gets done in short intervals at breakfast and lunch.)
The last time I had read a book of similar size, density and importance, I had dropped it for six months - and that book ended up becoming one of my favorites. (For the record, it was "The Powers That Be.") I wanted to avoid doing that, so I just had a policy where I read a lighter book at home, and read the denser book when I was out. It worked great.
