Each and every chapter of this book has been a monumental struggle for me; technically I've been listening to it with a free audio book app on my iPhone (whether or not listening to audio books counts as reading is not a topic I want to unravel today). Even halfway listening to it while doing my normal work has been difficult. It's hard to motivate yourself to listen to a book that is blatantly racist when you have new episodes of Radiolab in queue. However, if you, like me, are determined to get through it, the audio book is a great option, because if I were actually reading the text I would certainly have given up a long time ago.
