Very, Very Difficult Books

A while back I made a list of "difficult books that aren't that difficult" and I've come to rethink a number of inclusions on that list. They are quite challenging reads and so they appear here, among many other difficult books from various "difficult books" lists you should absolutely feel proud of having read. Good job, you!
