MeIon Bread 12/21/19 3:12:57 PM #1:	Personally, I'm not sure. Probably Infinite Jest, by David Foster Wallace. The incredible level of sophistication. Against the Day and Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon are extremely difficult reads, as well (for different reasons). The Instructions, by Adam Levin, although that's a pretty obscure book. Some of Mario Vargas Llosa's stuff. Thoughts? --- Sunhawk's main alternate account. I'm just a little bit caught in the middle, life is a maze and love is a riddle. <cite>MeIon Bread posted [p:931888978] in What is th... [t:78272257]...</cite> <quote>Personally, I'm not sure.

Great book, how can you possibly say it's harder than Infinite Jest? IJ was maybe 9/10 to read, and TPK was about a 7/10. I preferred The Pale King, though.

furb 12/21/19 4:44:46 PM #14:	I've read all the Frank Herbert Dune books. While they are excellent, Dostoevsky and his books are, in my opinion, more complex and sophisticated.
