the most difficult ones are the ones that you don't like much.
The most complex one in that list I'd say is Gravity's Rainbow, but even being complex, if you are enjoying it, it's easy as fuck to read, it was my case. I read GR in the same amount of time it took me to read a much smaller book with a simple writing, but that was a pain in the ass for me to read. Can't imagine a person that does not like GR's style reading the entire thing.

About 12, most over 15 years ago when compulsory. Fiction itself usually isn't interesting except for the turns of phrase, or the criticism which might obtain. Where fiction is concerned, the parasites are superior to their host in the sense that they are reality-efforts, drawing the fiction out of itself, extracting its blood to make sense of it, to dissect it where useful to the moral imagination.
