Time to brag: what’s the hardest book you read? (self.fiction)

By this I mean, a book you had to brace yourself to read, and you feel proud for having read. Did you enjoy the process of reading it?

Crime and Punishment, no it was shit.

I struggled to overcome the first chapters, but after the “crime”, things picked up and I ended up really enjoying it. It consolidated Dostoyevski as my favorite author for quite a while.
