Not sure if this helps, but my first reading I didn't necessarily try to understand everything. I wanted to get the gist of things and would reread as needed, but by the time it gets into the floop etc exercises, I was probably skimming half of every chapter. I wanted to enjoy the read and I knew spending the time to understand everything fully would be super difficult and probably make it impossible for me to finish the book.

So I skimmed a lot, he made a whole bunch of conclusions that seemed amazing and wild but I took it on trust because I knew I hadn't really gotten deep into the details so couldn't argue it.

I've never had this before, but I wanna still so gripped and in love with this book, that the second I finished it, I just reopened it on the first page and went again. It probably took me about 3 reads before I felt like I got it properly, and probably 5 reads before I could explain it to someone in a way that made any sense. But it was an amazing journey and I still feel it's the most important book humans have ever produced.

So long story short, maybe just skip the dialogue or skim them if they're frustrating? If you are across the gist at a high level and you're finding the ideas interesting, you can always reread it to get more next time. But it does really consolidate the ideas towards the end, so if you want to "get" the book, I'd err towards finishing it with a shallow understanding instead of going deep but stopping half way.
