Wow, thanks everyone for the responses. It looks like the general consensus is that while reading the book is important, also do the exercises, in different languages if possible, as that's where you'll really start to understand the concepts. I'll have to take a look at the Berkeley videos to see how they compare to the MIT videos. I am however going to use them more as a supplement to help me understand sections I'm having trouble with, rather than going through them systematically. As far as the timeframe of two months, two months is not a deadline to finish and completely comprehend the book. I understand that can take years. Two months is actually how much completely free time where I can concentrate on it before I have before I head back to college where one of my courses is using SICP as the textbook for the semester. I won't, however, be able to devote my full concentration to SICP as I would like to during the school year because I'll have other work that I need to do.Wow, thanks everyone for the responses.

Thanks for your help everyone!
