C&P has short enough chapters that you could easily read through one chapter each night before bed and whittle away at it. That's only 5-10 pages per night and it's a comfy way to relax before bed. That's actually how I got through it.

hmm

Crime and Punishment is a book that you have to read in small, frequent chunks. Treat it just like doing exercise: you need to read it every day or you'll lose everything you worked for. But read for too long and you'll burn out. I usually like to spend a couple hours reading every night, but I'm an avid reader. Aim for a little under an hour maybe, to wrap up the day. Brew yourself a nice cup of tea and sit by a warm lamp so the light is soft on your eyes. Read until you start to feel a little mentally weary, then finish the paragraph/section/chapter and put a bookmark in it. Repeat.

i am an enthusiastic reader as well, i'm actually an english major (inb4 everything). so it's surprising to me how difficult i'm finding this. the only other book i've ever read that's given me this much trouble is hamsun's hunger

>do you ever find you get into a slump with your reading?
yeah. I leave the bookmark in but thtow it aside and read something else till I get curious enough again to pick it up again and try it.
Might even have to do this multiple times.
