Paradise Lost?
I didn't even read the entire book, and it hurt my head ><
I do not understand any of it. At all.
Think you need to be in the proper frame of mind to really get into it. Maybe warm up with some Shakespeare or Dante, or find it on audiobook, if that's even an option.
I really should pick that one up again. Reading it during the school year probably didn't help.
Seeing a lot of Dune, which I guess I can understand. Didn't take me all that long to read, though. Granted, that was actually one of the
last books in the series I'd read... Acclimated to the prose, I guess.
Ayn Rand is a tough author to read if you don't have the right mindset. Still about a third of the way through
We the Living.
Textbooks in general are annoying because you need to devote so much brainpower to understanding something that's (usually) boring as hell or ridiculously dense.
