I find it takes about 3 weeks if I start reading the text with a real-world use in mind. A week into it I'll try to write something towards that real-world goal and it will be horribly broken, but it will force me to really research what I'm not understanding as I'm going through the book instead of going back to re-read it 2 months later when I'm trying to use the new language/technique/etc.
