Before buying any particular book, I suggest going to the publisher site to see if it is possible to view a sample.

Good Chess Books for Beginners and Beyond....

I read that book when I was rated lower than you. It's not too hard at all.

Sure, there's no way you're going to master all of its material, but it's a great book, and some of the positions are very basic... so basic even a 1200 player could learn from it.

"... before discussing the specifics of Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual [henceforth 'DEM'], a word of warning is in order. I must emphasize that this is a terribly advanced work that I don't think is a very good way for the average player to study the endgame. The majority of the examples are complex and position-specific, and neither the average student nor even strong masters will follow or play over most of the hundreds of positions that are given extensive analysis, not to mention the subvariations derived from those positions. Even when introducing 'the basics', Dvoretsky's approach is often more complex than is necessary for an average student, and in any case such a thick book will seldom be used for the sake of elementary instruction. The majority of the other material is frankly very difficult. So take note: I don't want to be blamed, in praising this book, for your purchasing something that you find intimidating, relatively dull, or otherwise unsatisfying. That said, if you are up to a real challenge and have a great deal of time to devote to reading and playing over examples you will inevitably derive great value from this work. ..." - IM John Watson (2005)

Yeah, Naka gave a similar review. Ultimately I disagree with them. Since the OP already has the book I wont go into specifics, but saying it's too advanced is silly. I think the first position covered is something like this

Something you'd find in any beginner level endgame book.

Sure maybe for us lesser players it's better as a reference book, and certainly some of the positions covered are very complex, but I played over every line of analysis in that book, enjoyed it, and learned a lot (certainly I didn't learn all the book has to offer).

Rating at the time?

One can also look at the sample at:

1600

And how much time did it take to get to your current rating?

I dunno. I read it around the time I joined chess.com, about 9-10 years ago.

If I'd worked on chess all that time who knows what my rating would be... actually I don't think I've read a whole chess book since then

I read that one (Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual) and Soltis' Pawn Structure Chess.
