Reading Hull's book cover-to-cover practical?

[zycoactivtheory]

I'm currently on chapter 5. Been studying it carefully, answering all practice questions and checking answers. There seems to be about 30 chapters, and with the way I'm studying it, this would take couple months. Since it's an introductory book, I don't want to spend too much time on it. Would it be practical to read the book cover-to-cover or just read some of it and move on? What else should I start reading/practicing to complement this book?

Some background info: I have finished a probabilities course, calculus courses up to differential equations, and couple courses in C++ and self taught some Python.

IMO a good project is: implement Hull's algorithms in C++ and Python. Then you really understand.
Reading is necessary but not sufficient. "Do" is better.

couple courses in C++
What level(s)?

Just the introductory courses. Did small cliche projects like bank simulations and simple stock trading simulator. I meant to say courses in C++ and C
