I read it for a first time in a couple of weeks by skimming over the exercises and sections I didn't want to read. Then, some months after that, I read it a second time but I did the exercise and read every section. In SICP, the exercice aren't there to "only make sure you've understood". There are actually a lot of new content in the exercises.. I don't particularly like that because if you can't answer an exercise, well, there is no solution :p (Of course, you can browse the web, ask people, etc.) Or sometime, it asks, eva-lua-tor thinks that, L. Hacker things that, who's right? So, you answer.. but how can you know you've got the right answer? Anyway, this is a great book. In my opinion, the chapter based on the evaluator is the most important and the one that has the most impact on my day to day life.
