Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne. It's heartbreaking, because 18th-Century England is one of my favorite periods of history, and I wanted so much to enjoy the book, but I simply can't make heads or tails of it. I've tried reading it about a dozen times, but can't get past Chapter 2.

Shame on you. C.S. Lewis called it a "gossipy, formless book which can be read anywhere" (i.e. open it to any random page and start reading) and used to read it while eating meals.

Cheers!

Honestly, I did give it many, many tries!

(i.e. open it to any random page and start reading)

That sounds like a possibility, I will make another attempt.
