Have you ever had to stop reading a novel, because it appeared to be beyond your intellectual capabilities? If so, which book was it and why?

There is already a thread on this. Go to the catalog

didn't we just have a plebbit thread with this exact subject matter?
anyways when I first started reading I thought Age of Reason was really dry and couldn't finish it. Read it twice now and can confirm that Sarte is just dry as fuck.
also Mrs. Dalloway put me to sleep the first 3 attempts. Reading it now and loving it.
Pride and prejudice bored me to stop, I just think you have to be a woman to enjoy it
>>8294684
I'm not, and I enjoyed it immensely
>>8294689
Each to their own, I need to find it out again and finish it because I hate unfinished books

yes.
I can't remember what age, but i read pic related when I was a very young kid (it came out when I was 5, so after that I suppose), and the words were a bit out of my range but I kept trudging through the book anyway because I felt cool for reading a long book.
The next book in the series is The Subtle Knife, and I remember I was young enough where I didn't know the word and thought it was SUB-toll not SUDdle.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being
It's probably not at all difficult to understand but I was fifteen years old and super exhausted due to depression and extreme heat.

to be fair the pacing of that book is just ungodly

>its a trap
When does it stop being a trap and it transcends definitions by the sheer quality of its looks?

critique of pure reason.
call me a philistine but almost all of my knowledge about random philosophical theories comes from second-hand summations
