These are not books that you read as leisure, so probably one can't read it continuously. And I would recommend to have a personal project (or maybe one borrowed from another person) to test the concepts as you read. As people have social life and work, this 6 months time span seems acceptable.
About the books: I can't say about these two books because I learned it through a Brazilian book and I was applying it directly at my job (so I had to learn it faster).
