Ulysses by James Joyce. I’ve tried starting it a few times now but I can’t get more than 50 pages in before I lose all sense of what’s going on.

Anna karenina, I also tried to read it when I was about 11. Understood basically nothing.

Ironically, Eat that frog. It feels like I’m procrastinating the book about procrastination but I just can not finish it.

Ulysses or Voss

The one im currently reading – Billie’s Kiss. The writing style is quite hard to follow. Looong chapters. Too many minor characters to keep track of.

Ulysses, by a big margin.

I read Beyond Freedom and Dignity by BF Skinner. That was a real slog.

Rayuela by Julio Cortázar. The novel is supposed to be one of the master pieces of hispanic literature. There’s three things that make it hard: (1) themes. (2) The references. The author adds refs to music, film, literature, painting and history. I even got an annotated version to understand it better. (3) Cortázar called it an “anti-novel”. Meaning it has a gimmick in which you are supposed to read the book three times by following three different order of chapters.
