The Wheel of Time series..even with the glossary at the back. However, I DID crochet myself a shawl, inspired by the wise women in the series..The yarn is flecked with many colors, so that each stitch is slightly different from it’s neighbors.
I’m a huge Dark Tower fan. Admittedly the first book is probably my least favorite. I love books 2&3 and the characters so much I’ve read the series twice.
A Song of Fire and Ice. I gave up 125 into book 4. The words seemed so dense and when they brought in a whole other cast of characters I was like, I’m out lol and love the tv show.
I love Faulkner, who had a reputation as a tough read. But Toni Morrison, by far for me, is the most difficult author to read after Beloved. Her books became impenetrable.
100 Years of Solitude..
I’m not even going to try lol
The Scarlet Letter, To Kill a Mockingbird
I loved Mockingbird…I always keep meaning to re-read Scarlet…I read it in high school and hard a hard time
Wolf Hall – couldn’t tell who was saying what lol
I’ve head there are soooo many characters to keep track of

Wolf Hall was hard! Too many people called Thomas.
Indeed!
I loved A Clockwork Orange but it was hard to read. I want to read Trainspotting but I’m intimidated by how hard it looks!
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, The Gunslinger by Stephen King.

I love the DT, I did have to persevere with ‘The Gunslinger’, I’m glad I did though?
Under the Tuscan sun
A Song of Fire and Ice. I gave up 125 into book 4. The words seemed so dense and when they brought in a whole other cast of characters I was like, I’m out lol and love the tv show.
I was the same @Elissa he uses different words for the same thing, “just say horse dude”??
I do like the show (what I’ve seen of it), I have seasons 1-3 to watch x
Sound and the Fury. It was worth it, though.
The Phantom of the Opera. But I was 14, so who knows what I would think now!
I rather like it, though the end fizzles out. What surprised me was how the best version of Phantom on screen is the Silent Movie with Lon Chaney
Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance!
Iain M Banks’s Culture novels were a bit confusing
Moby Dick
Life of Pi but worth it
Loved Jeanette Winterson’s ‘Lighthousekeeping’, but gave up on ‘ Sexing the Cherry’.
I couldn’t get into The Grapes of Wrath. I hope to one day.
Read Jeanette’s book called The Passion – very good.
If I find them confusing or hard to read, that’s it, I close the book.
So I can’t remember the books.
Hidden Figures for me this is a case where the movie was better than the book.
House of Leaves for sure, and I never ended up liking it either. :/
