The HARDEST Reading Challenge

One of the most intellectually demanding challenges for assessing an individual's level of erudition is a comprehensive familiarity with the canon of world literature — encompassing texts from antiquity to the modern era. Such knowledge reflects not only a broad cultural literacy but also the capacity for critical engagement with texts across diverse historical and aesthetic contexts.
