What was the hardest book you've read?

For me it was the Scarlett letter.

The hardest book for me to ever get through was the Bible the first time I read it. Especially the Old Testament. I just didn't understand alot of it, and found alot of it to be boring. After reading it a couple more times though, I find that it's much easier to get through, and the only parts that really bore me now are the geneologies. Some of that can go on for pages, and it can be quite difficult to get through at times.

I would say Ben Hur. But it was definitely worth the effort!

I also found the Bible very hard to read. It took me about a year to read completely. Other books I had difficulties were The Man Who Killed The Deer, William Faulkner's books and Crime and Punishment.

Cyrano Debergerac-I had to read it in French and then write a book report on it in French as well. It was hard...but a good book.

I had trouble with A Tale of Two Cities in high school.

[Hollow]

a tale of two ****ties by charles dickhead. call me immature, i don't care to be nice to that load of ****, nor the assclown who wrote it. my ADD normally stops me from being able to comprehend large blocks of text that aren't interesting to me, but this **** was so dense and so uninteresting i just couldn't stand it.

Ah, Charles Dickens isn't that bad, Sarah. :) I'm not a fan myself, but I appreciate his work...he's regarded in the UK as being one of our greatest novelists.

I would recommend Great Expectations to you - despite it being heavy-going in places, I think the story would be something you'd be interested in.

:lol: I hated that book too....It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.....

Actually, you appreciate it a bit more when you're older I think. But for teens, yah, it was brutal. All Dicken's stuff was depressing imo. We even had to act the book out! I was the old broad knitting all the time. LOL


The hardest, but one of the best books for me was "Best Evidence". It's about the medical evidence of the shooting of JFK and how it proves that it couldn't have only been Oswald's gun that killed him. A really great book and you sure learn medical pathology in it!

I tried to get into War and Peace in highschool and just couldn't handle it. Never did finish it.

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens and Les Miserables by Victor Hugo were tough reads, but still well worth reading.
