Read it! I finally finished it about a year ago after about 15 years of false starts, and am so glad I never have to be bothered by it again. (It's actually just really bad, in every single way, even reading slowly and thoroughly and cross-referencing, unlike the other two of my final three bucket list books I knocked out of the way last year (Gravity's Rainbow, which I'd read once but decided I hadn't followed well enough to count, and which upon the second reading I can't say I loved but it had its moments, and Swann's Way, which was was a bit slow but reasonably good enough once you get used to the pace that I'd consider reading the remainder of the books in the series)). But it's so freeing not to have anything else on the reading bucket list!

Perhaps if somebody has a motivation different than "I just want to read a classic," then there could be an approach or motivation to invest the time and energy. But parsing gibberish is like reading zero-point SO answer code.
