I agree that it is unreadable. How many other classics are also that way? Zemyaitin “We” ?

It’s wonderful. One of my favorite books in the world.

"We" was an easy book, and unusually short for a famous Russian work. I knocked it off in my spare time in 9th grade. The COVID shots reminded me of the end. I would hate to think what the STD situation was there.

I found "Moby Dick" unreadable, B-O-R-I-N-G.

Also, anything by Stoppard.

Finnegan’s Wake is unreadable.

Ulysses is BARELY readable.

I nominate Faulkner’s ‘Absalom, Absalom’...
