James Joyce - Ulysses. I have let it rot away in the back of my mind, because of the "prerequisite" to read the whole western canon up to the point when it was first published. While this no exactly true, I can't help thinking this way.

Someday.

I've had Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon on my shelf for fourteen years!

I've attempted it four separate times.

I think I'll be ready for it next year.

I read the first book of Tu Rostro Mañana (your face tomorrow) in 2021 I think. It was great but very dense (at some point I counted 10 pages on my phone without a full stop). The second book is supposed to be even worse about this but has better reviews overall. Still trying to find the best time to start it.

The Power Broker - It's just so f-ing big.

Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese. I finally put it down after trying to read it... But I may get the audiobook sometime to see if that helps

Its a thick book and beautifully written but I felt like it was slog.

People's History of the United States. It's been at least a year since I picked it up, I'll get through a chapter over a few sessions and then have to put it down for a while. It's dense and depressing so I take it in small bits
