Gödel Escher Bach lost me at about the 50% point, there's a jump in difficulty there
I've read Wittgenstein's Tractatus a few times, there are several stretches (esp about notation) where I don't have any idea what he's saying or why it matters
Lots of philosophy/theology filters me, often because I just don't care enough about the point, and probably often because it's bullshit (I can't know which parts of course, because idgi, but it's always a risk with philosophy)

Mostly due to the fact that I am so ideologically different from the characters in that book and far removed from the setting. It was almost as if I had been reading about the thoughts of an alien on a different planet. Despite that though I did enjoy it.
