    For the longest time I read at least one of the chapters daily. Now, maybe not as much, mostly snippets here and there. I'm feel I'm due for another full reading soon.
    The appreciation of the sublime beauty of the words increases every time 😄

    I find myself reading it rather often. Sometimes chapters at a time, sometimes a few lines here or there. I've almost always got it open on my phone and internet browser, and actually just ordered a physical copy today.

    Even If I don't read all of it, sometimes I'll find my eyes glance across it on my way to do something else and catch a little tidbit that unveils itself to be as it hadn't before.

    While it may be only three chapters, one can read it a thousand times and read a thousand different things. Suddenly three chapters turns into three thousand. One need only know how to read it.

    I find that the level of erudition you mean in the text can be helped along with qabalah. But one that uses the english alphabet in a similar way to gematria.

    Personally i can attest to it then opening up like a flower. Rich in nectar (Which is wisdom in a sense)

    I read each chapter in full at least once a year in celebration of its reception,
    Working with various snippets, consciously and unconsciously,
    Through out my daily activities.

    Currently, I am practicing performances of the first chapter of Liber LXV,
    Having nearly memorized it and soon to move on to the second chapter.
    I find great joy in the reading aloud, more so in the reciting from the Heart
    The various Works manifested through the hand of His Servant

    Strangely no one has mentioned yet: Once you've memorized it, you don't have to pull the book out very often. (I mostly open it to confirm exact spellings, capitalizations, and punctuations when quoting it.) But the passages are always in the mind, in the cells, working with you throughout the day.
