What's that one book that the writing style, subject matter and vocabulary was just so above your level of comprehension that you just couldn't continue?

Book of life

Preetti:
Book of life

Who's the author? Let me guess. God?

Moral man and immoral society by Reinhold Niebuhr..

Though I read it completely but comprehend just little.
Planning on reading it agian.

Ayn Rand's 1957 1168 page magnum opus titled Atlas Shrugged. Conquered it in the end and it did take me up a few notches. One hell of a challenging read it was.

Attempted William Golding's Lord of the Flies in JS1. Never completed it. Never touching it again.

Othello, I'm never reading any untranslated stories by Shakespeare, no more sick English. I tried Lord of the Flies too but dumped later.

Lord of the Flies is interesting... Although, i think the beginning is somehow technical.. I had to read it twice to get the full details..

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner.

Some donkey years ago, I somehow got it into my head that reading the classic Greek epics was the coolest thing in literature. So I sauntered down to the university library and picked up a hefty and respectable looking translation of Virgil's Aeneid. Mmmm. About 10 pages (and 10 hours) later, my head started shaking...

Then I looked at the front page properly and realized this book was just Part 1 - there was still parts 2, 3, and I think 4.

I didn't bother to continue.

It has to be "The great Gatsby" By F.Scott Fitzgerald. The copy I saw in my dad's library was originally published in 1851 or so written in weird English. Confusing as hell. I had to put it away after less than 10 pages. They made a movie about it years later and I kept wondering why anybody would want to adapt such boring story into a movie.

Boring? That book is the top 30 books of all time. Have you even watched the movie?

Taraja Taraja. The EE bible

Chike and the River.

One Soyinka's very discouraging and very difficult novel like that. 2 pages read and still couldn't determine the language book was written. That put paid to my interest in literature a subject loved very much.
