The Irish author is famous for his innovative works like Ulysses and Finnegan’s Wake, both of which readers routinely cite as among the most difficult books they’ve ever read (or tried to read).

What’s the most challenging book you’ve ever read? Did you finish it? And, maybe most importantly, did you feel it was worth the extra effort?
