What’s the hardest book you’ve read? For me it’s unironically the Bible, simply because there were a number of dense passages that were a slog to get through that went on and on about Israeli law

The Horus Heresy
>>25401569probably slaughterhouse five because it was so shit and reddit i couldn't get through itit's hard for me to think about a book that i genuinely enjoyed that was really hard to read, because if something is good then you want to read morei guess the sound and the fury was kinda challenging at times, but not really
>>25401569You’re reading the books in order? Do you recommend it? I’m halfway through Exodus myself
>>25401569For me, it's Great Expectations. Hated it ever since it was thrust on me as a 10 year old britbong, especially because I was out voted by my classmates when our teacher gave use the alternative of reading Huckleberry Fin (which is infinitely more amusing). Just the most turgid pointless descriptions and a bunch of forgettable characters. Easily the worst Dickens text.
>>25401584Rip the honest anon who hates Warhammer. He is right and fuck the mods.
any current events books. there's a special language you need to know. there's a special knowledge you need to have. how do you know the writer knows what he's talking about.
>>25401657People usually burn themselves out precisely halfway through Exodus. Perhaps read it alongside a gospel like Matthew who presents Jesus as the new Israel going through Exodus. Matthew is filled with references to Exodus and that could make your reading more enjoyable.Example:Matthew 2/Exodus 14 - escape from EgyptMatthew 3/Exodus 14 - baptism in the Jordan/Red SeaMatthew 4/Exodus 15-17 - Temptations in the wilderness, Satan/AmalekMatthew 4/Exodus 18 - angels come and minister/Jethro comes and ministersMatthew 5-7/Exodus 20-24 - Sermon on the Mount/giving of the lawetc.
>>25401728I read this book twice in my life and still don't remember a single thing from it.
>>25401728Great Expectations at 10 is pretty nuts in modern times. I read it in 9th grade I think (14).
>>25402080but what if they want to learn how to build a jewish tent according to their exact specifications?
>>25402179That Jewish tent will tell you something about the way God designed the universe. There's more stuff about the creation and design of the cosmos in Exodus 25-40 than the entire book of Genesis (and any other book for that matter, with the possible exception of Job)
Miguel Serrano and that whole first chapter on the egg. Why did bro intentionally write an entire schizo book just to say that before the fall of humanity we were androgynous. Kinda sus. Same thing plato said.
>>25402088True. I was in a small gifted & talented subgroup that got separated off in English class. Also the standards in UK schools were much higher back then. Even so, it was too dense for us at that age, and we should have been reading something easier and with less mature themes. Like who the fuck understands social class at that age? Or the Victorian British context?
>>25401569Bible is a collection of court documents where people were testifying against a criminal (Jesus) and over time this was obfuscated into the mystical Christian jibber jabber we have today. Through some handily done mistranslations, embellishments, and inserted bullshit Jews removed themselves from his crimes (also the same crimes of the Jewish people), erased his crimes, and flipped it on its head in regards to Roman morality of the time as an inversion against everything Romans stood for. This was to insult further the people they subverted by this process and mindfuck future generations.
>>25403147This also explains why there’s so much ‘law’ speak in the documents. And it’s well known at least 20% of the modern Bible’s meaning is missing because of poorly translated passages either by willing or ignorant goys or nefarious Jews.
>>25403069What book bro? I started the avatar thing but got bored/overwhelmed by all the mystical shit
>>25401569Unironically the Bible. Getting familiar with it made the Silmarillion, formerly my favorite book, feel like a shallow YA novel.
>>25401569You'll need to know all this when they forcibly convert you, goy.
>>25402187And it's great for hosting garden parties.

>>25401569For me it's Parmenides. Plato's stuff is generally pleasant to read, but this one in particular had me re-reading every other sentence. Very unpleasant and difficult to get through imo.

I read The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie when I was 17. I'm sure I'm literate enough to understand it now at 32, but at 17 it just went way over my head.
