By this I mean, a book you had to brace yourself to read, and you feel proud for having read. Did you enjoy the process of reading it?

Out of curiosity I tried to read the first few lines of Finnegan's Wake. Couldn't progress beyond that. How do people who actually read the book make any sense of it? This is not an example as stated in the post, but "most difficult book" made me think of this book immediately.
