To read an English book without a dictionary is the same to solve a crossword puzzle for me. Have you ever played a crossword puzzle? You feel you know the answer, but it dose not come to your mind. If so, how would you feel? For me? It bothers me very much. However, the game has many hints, so it makes me guess the answer and I can grasp the meaning from the context of the book. That is why I said they are similar.
Nevertheless, It is obviously true that it is very difficult. In due consideration of having studied English for so many years, I am not good at it. Whenever I meet many difficult words, I feel somewhat frustrated and stuffy. It is said that to read without a dictionary is one of the best ways to study but it is practically very hard. To sum up, to understand an English book without any help is similar to a puzzle game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frankly speaking, the number of what I have totally read an English book is only one. I tried to read one several times but I failed. Anyway, the title was Sam's letters to Jennifer. The stoty was that Sam and Jennifer, who had griefs, overcome their past and finally met thier soul mate. Meanwhile, I have to admit that prejudice is really dangerous. Before reading it, I judged that Sam would be a hero and Jennifer would be a heroine. Having those thoughts, I read the first part of the book but justly I could not understand. What is worse, I didnt know that who was a man and a woman. It was very confused, so I tried to throw those thoughts away and read it again. After that, I began to understand the story. Actually, Sam was Jennifer's grandmother. It was not interesting very much but it was my first reading in English, so it is meaningful for me.
In this case, the thing was not difficult words but the prejudice.

I like your comparison to a puzzle, it gives me a good idea of how you see language.
Here are two sentences that need your attention:
In due consideration of studing English for so many years, I am not good at it. (SP,T)
...is one of the best way to study but it is practically very hard. (#)
