Difficult Novels
When researching yesterday’s topic on novels that influenced
other novels, I came across a BuzzFeed
list of 25 challenging novels: https://www.buzzfeed.com/louispeitzman/the-25-most-challenging-books-you-will-ever-read?utm_term=.qrqXw2nVJ6#.pnvMxPEb61. What is interesting is that at least 8 of
those titles appear on the list I mentioned yesterday of novels that changed subsequent
