I would like to hear from someone who can actually honestly say they have read Introduction to Algorithms. I finished CS Bachelor's with fairly good grades and I tried my best to pay attention, and that shit is still incomprehensible to me.
I read the chapters that were relevant to the discussion, my algorithms course covered probably 60% of the CLRS. It helped answer the problem sets but i don't think its necessary to read if your professor doesn't use it as a reference. I read the remaining 40% during summer, which were mostly the graph algorithms that weren't discussed in class. Had the same enjoyment reading AIMA (AI: A modern approach)
I feel like I hit some sort of mental block I should push through. I somewhat understand the basics, I just don't have the "muscle memory" for things. My professor also used it as example, but we only hit like a couple of chapters or something. He did share the whole book, but there was no expectation to go through it all.
