Although Harry Potter shattered my world for a while, there are many more works worth your time. I’ve compiled a list for everyone who enjoys reading (because with this list, you can hold your own among book fanatics) and everyone who doesn’t enjoy reading (because with this list, you can justify why you don’t enjoy reading and detest books). Here you have it!
Ulysses – James Joyce
As Irish isn’t the easiest language to master, Irish author James Joyce isn’t known for his easy-to-read writings. Yet, for the purists among us, readers, “Ulysses” is the Holy Grail. When people are waging Civil fights over your book, you know you’ve made it. “Ulysses” is the ultimate modernist novel. Buckle up, for this is one of the most difficult books ever written. Those who complete it are frequently left speechless and in need of a moment of reflection: was it all worth it?
