How Long Would it Take to Learn Polish?

Say if I were to study an hour a day.. how long do you reckon it would take to firmly grasp the language?
Also what are the benefits of learning such a language?

Your help will be appriciated..

Whats the best book from Polish author Jacek Dukaj?

My wife is Polish and I wanted to get her a couple nice books written in her native language to take with us on vacation. If anyone knows of other good books written in Polish please mention them...I just know she loves sci-fi which is why I narrowed it down to Jacek Dukaj. Cheers!
