Uncage your minds, people!
"If you've ever seen a copy of James Joyce's Ulysses on a friend's shelf, chances are they haven't actually read it, or at the very least haven't finished it. No judgement here—many have attempted to tackle the so-called 'unreadable' novel and failed, and that's okay. Some books are just challenging. Some are told through unreliable narrators, some have too many characters and subplots to keep track of, some ask you to wrestle with concepts that aren't best explored through the written word, or even just make up words of their own. Some overexplain, others rely on you to have an encyclopedic knowledge before you even get past the dust cover. Some are just way longer than they need to be. Here are ten books that, for one reason or another, are pretty tough to get all the way through."
Opinions are NOT mine. Do not let this list deter you from reading any of these. I know A Clockwork Orange and Slaughterhouse-Five are fantastic, and very readable.
