Unironically haven't encountered one yet. I'm not that well-read though. I made my way through GR alright, it just felt dense, not impenetrable.

Ending was great tho, the preww1 tension, the duel and the bit after it. Really tied it up for me.

Unironically Brothers Karamazov. I got 100 pages in... when they were all chatting in the priest’s study or holding room or whatever about the separation of church and state, I just felt so ill-equipped to grasp what they were saying. The passage in the middle of it all, where the priest is dealing with peasants and then the boy or whatever, was really wonderful. I reckon I’ll try again when I have more patience. Did any of you encounter this problem at first?

Calculus is weird because you get it after you were supposed to and then you realize how simple it actually was.
