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?

The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky. Rewarding slog but a slog for sure.

I liked it much better than the beginning of Crime and Punishment. It helps that I love philosophical side-quests.

It is my favorite book and the philosophical side quests are why I love it but it is a long, dense read

I am reading it now. Little beyond 80%. Except for the initial ~20% I found it to be a page turner. Loving it!
