Oh yes, it definitely will take a while. The Key is INTENSITY and Perseverence.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Swami Krishnananda's works are available online. I found commentaries of Brahma Sutras, Panchadasi & Mandukya upanishads on his website. I have access to the translation of Tatva Bodha from the website "Paramaartha Tatvam". I presume they are good. Can you please provide what you think are good translations (or commentaries) for the rest?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Swami Krishnanda's site is highly recommended. You may want to see Panchadasi from there too. It's quite exhaustive and is a wealth of treasure. Another site I recommend is Kamakoti.org. Check out HinduDharma link, and you will find a wealth of information that acts as foundation to Sanathana Dharma. Unfortunately, I may not be the best person to recommend English translations. I usually read and try to understand (with my rudimentary knowledge) Sanskrit originals. And sometimes resort to Tamil translations (even though I cant read tamil well.)
BrahmaSutra translations of Swami Ghambirananda is good. Check out some of the books here..

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In your last reply you mentioned that Bhagavad gita by "Anna" of Mylapore Ramakrishna Mission is good. So, is the author "Anna"? I could not find the book online.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
"Urai Asiriyar Anna" is the nom-de-plume for Sri N. Subramanya Ayyar. Anna is an affectionate big brother, and "urai asiriyar" means commentator. My father used to read us the Gita, and the upanishads, with Anna's commentaries and word-for-word translations. That's how I picked up my samskrit.
Others in this forum may help you out with good translations. Once you are comfortable in Samskrit, check out the Complete works of Sri AdiShankaracharya at www.sankara.iitk.ac.in
