I tried to read Infinite Jest on my lunch break once and gave up figuring it'd take me a year at the rate I was going

I loved it, but only got about a quarter of the way through because I'm a hopeless dilettante :(

OP has inspired me to order it on audiobook, though. I drive about 6 hours a week, and just got an Audible subscription that I was initially sceptical about but has proved invaluable.

That probably wasn't a bad estimation on your part. It took me about 6-8 months to read it at pace that probably averages around 1 hour a week. And I took a break to read The Unbearable Lightness of Being during that time too. Now I come to think of it, I have about 1/4 left to read of that.
