HARD

What’s the hardest/most challenging book you’ve ever read? Was it worth the effort? Did you read it by choice or was it an assignment/obligation?

To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf - I was supposed to read this for a college lit course but the professor ran out of time before we could get to it. I tried reading it over the summer on my own, but could not get into it at all. It is by far the hardest book I ever tried to read. I stopped after the first 10 pages.
