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.

Yeah, I think you've mentioned that book before. It's meant to be good, right?

Probably, The Brothers Karamazov.

The Pale King, also by David Foster Wallace. It's basically Infinite Jest but even more incomplete.

The Pale King, also by David Foster Wallace. It's basically Infinite Jest but even more incomplete. 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. Both worth reading. --- Sunhawk's main alternate account.

Probably, The Brothers Karamazov.I just rembered I read Crime and Punishment. Is that more complex/sophisticated than Dune?... --- He was born in a coop, raised in a cage, children fear him, critics rage, He's half alive, he's half dead, folks just call him Buckethead ... Copied to Clipboard!

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.
This part of Brothers alone is one is the most sophisticated moments in literature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Inquisitor --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues. Then the next day, pierced brains. -Jane Lane ... Copied to Clipboard!

I have read Crime and Punishment, but I haven't read Dune. I would say C&P is way more straight forward the Brothers K though. --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan. Currently playing: Flight Simulator X.~PC ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, I think you've mentioned that book before. It's meant to be good, right? Sci fi book about a doctor that makes a drug that lets you lucid dream whatever you want, to escape their dystopian world, only for Doctor Eldtrich to infiltrate your dreams and start doing crazy ****.

Was dune that complex? I don't remember much of it being very much so, but I was just a preteen. Hunt for Red October was most complex in terms of technical descriptions anyway.
