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?

As a kid I read Stephen Kings "The Stand" and I felt like it just went on forever.

It got a bit shit half way through, but recovered towards the end.

The extra thick extended cut of The Stand was the first SK book I ever read actually. Probably not the best reading choice when I was like 14 but 🤷
