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?

    David Copperfield. I read it in one day when I was a kid and had nothing else to do. Bleak House was a slog too, but it had some nice turns of phrase that stuck with me.

    And at the risk of insulting a classic, One Hundred Years of Solitude. I get that it’s supposed to be a critique on society and inspired by the author’s life. I just found it bleak.
