One thing I'd suggest is to read something else while reading bluebeard, so every day you might read a bit of the other book you're "lusting for", and try to knock out a few pages of bluebeard if you feel like it.
That way you don't feel guilty even if you slow down with bluebeard, which will inevitably happen, you also get to actually read something that interest you more. And the feeling you get when you finally finish bluebeard in a month or something, man, it's great.
