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?

Gotta be Finnegan's wake. And it was totally just to say to myself that I did it.

And no, no enjoyment was had in the usual sense of enjoyment. At best, I could appreciate the experiment for what it is.

Outside of fiction, has to be Clausewitz, on war. That is a dense fucking read lol.
