I agree. No.
We Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong is about microbes inside us and animals and I have no idea why I read it, but it was difficult to read because I'm terrible at biology. Still cool though
Edit: Oh, I didn't realise this is the fiction comm. Oops. I guess I don't read any challenging fiction books. Maybe I should rectify that
House of Leaves. It was fine, but I read multiple books at a time over a period of months so it took about a year to finish.
I've tried to finish house of leaves 4 times at this point
It's a good book, at this point it's reputation should proceed it.
Funny enough, I read the first 2/3rds in about 8 months but finished it in a week after watching sole videos for the MyHouse.wad DOOM mod
Stefan Wul - Oms en Serie. Difficult because my french isn't that great. Interesting because it was adapted as Fantastic Planet. Great book. Wul is weird.
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 🤷
