The Angel of the West Window by Gustav Meyrink for something that's at least interesting in subject matter before ultimately filtering you.

Only real answer, but it's debatable whether or not FW is even written in English rather than just borrowing from the language intermittently.

>... the most difficult book written in English[.]


LA ÚNICA MANERA EN QUE UNA OBRA HECHA EN LENGUA INGLESA PUDIERA SER «DIFICULTOSA DE LEERSE» SERÍA SI ESTUVIERA MAL ESCRITA, O SI FUERA VERBORREA SIN SENTIDO, YA QUE LA LENGUA INGLESA ES LENGUA PARA CIEGOS, PARA LOS TARADOS ONTOLÓGICOS DE EL MUNDO.

But I wouldn't bother it was probably just a massive troll by Joyce.

exit-level is a term for books about wanting to kill yourself, depressing lit. not some measure of intelligence. you have already been filtered.

Hint: It's much MUCH easier to get into FW if you are not a native english reader.It's a troll book in the sense that it's more accessible to non native English readers and people who do not nitpick every single thing.

Exit-level is the opposite of entry-level, books for those nearing ascension. Not just applicable to books but to any kind of medium.

Paradise lost has a habit of filtering
Infinite jest is infamous for it
But my favorite book for filtering people is a critique of pure reason

There's hard books that don't add up to much, and then there are hard books that are amazing if you put in the effort.

Anyways, I'd recommend Absalom, Absalom!

Critique of Pure Reason was not written in English.
