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?

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. It's been a while and I don't quite remember a lot of details, but I'm proud I was able to read it and did enjoy the process of reading it.

I started it twice and finished it once. Strongly recommend checking this site before taking it on

I read it because I am stubborn, it’s now back on my to-read list because next time I want to understand it a bit more and enjoy it.
