I just finished 200 pages of The World as Will and Representation. Does it get harder to understand later on? It feels like it's too simple. I don't find myself disagreeing or having meaningful comments on a lot of it. It's almost like the book is just articulating things I already agree with. Is there something more? Also now that I've gotten this far, reading it seems more like a chore, rather than a treat which is what it started as. Would it be acceptable for me to either skip the rest of the book or move onto a different book for the time being?

>Wagner supported the performance of the String Quartet Opus 131 in Zurich in 1854, while he observed in the program note that he provided for it that, as one of Beethoven's late quartets, it is “still regarded by many musicians and amateurs as unintelligible—and no doubt, at any rate, it is most often performed quite unintelligibly.” He concludes his brief summary of the spirit of the quartet with the comment that at its end “we arrive at the ultimate, painful renunciation of every earthly happiness.” The editor points out that during the time that Wagner was coaching the string quartet in playing Opus 131 he “was finishing his first reading of Schopenhauer” (505).

Depends on your interests. Each book (around 100 pages or so) explores a different topic. In order of appearance: epistemology, ontology, aesthetics, ethics. Imo his aesthetics is the best part.
