I think it's important to keep in mind that reading a mathematics textbook is not the same as reading other texts. I direct you to the MESE answer that discusses this at length herehere, which may help you to determine what topics to skip.

In general, there is value in going over every topic in a textbook, but I doubt many people completely understand every single topic to their fullest degree the first time meeting a new field. Constant reviewing and rereading of material is the best way to make gains in comprehension.
