How to read an English novel :sss

I've just started to read the book "Bridget Jones's Diary" in English.
I like this film and watched it several times, so I ought to know its story.
But there is a large number of unknown vocabularies in the book, I can guess to some extent or challenge to understand those meanings though :s
I'm wondering I should try to read the novel without a dictionary...
So far I use a dictionary after reading 1 page :<<<
It takes a long time when looking into a dictionary even 1 page, than I though.
I'm puzzled to think when I finish reading this book :x

But there's a lot of new vocabulary in the book, I can guess to some extent or challenge myself to understand those meanings though :s
I'm curious about when I will finish reading this book :x
My new year's resolution for 2011 might be to keep reading this book!
I see... I'll try to read it through without a dictionary.
Thanks ;-)
I think you should try to read it with a dictionary, but it has a lot of British slang words, like "shag", "bollocks", and "bugger off". :-)
ctenophoreさんの奥さんも英語の勉強をされてるんですか！？
女性の為の物語という感じで、この本、とても好きなんです！
英語の本は、辞書無しだと、なかなか読み進みませんね、笑
1ページではなく数ページ読む→辞書をひく→また読みなおす、という流れにしてみました。
slang wordsは難しいけど、ネイティブさん達みたいに使いこなしたいです:-)
