Can I read mathematics book without solving any problem in it?

I am reading "Topics in Algebra 2nd Edition" by I. N. Herstein.
In this book, there are too many problems for readers.
I want to understand this book but I don't want to solve problems if possible.
I want to finish reading this book as soon as possible.

Almost all mathematicians stress the importance of solving problems.
For example, James R. Munkres wrote:

Working problems is a crucial part of learning mathematics. No one can learn topology merely by poring over the definitions, theorems, and examples that are worked out in the text.
