Current Events > Sunhawk gives hard books rating for their, well, hardness.

(+) Yeah! (+)

War and Peace - 7/10
Anna Karenina - 7/10
Infinite Jest - 8.5/10
Gravity's Rainbow - 9/10
American Pastoral - 7/10
Against the Day - 9/10
Catch-22 - 7/10
Oblivion: Stories - 8/10

Note, for those that didn't understand the first time. These aren't ratings of how good or bad they were, but rather, difficulty to read.

I guess some books are hard because of linguistic complexity, some because of obscure references, some because of length, and some for other reasons.

I can see why CE wouldn't like this topic. It would scare them quite a lot. They prefer low-brow authors like Stephen King and Huraki Murakami.

no we prefer watching TV

people don't like this topic because, factoring in your prior obvious attempts to patronize over media, the only response to you posting unexplained ratings for the reading difficulty of random titles is

ok.

protip: you're not culturally enriched for reading things purely for the sake of appearing culturally enriched. This is like the reader's version of people who listen to artists purely on the basis of how skilled they are with an instrument.

Maybe CE doesn't like people who act like smug assholes.

I thought this would be about the hardness of hard covers.

I read Gravity's Rainbow years and years ago while at university, I remember it being great!

I give TCs post a hardness rating of 10/10, not out of difficulty to read, but rather, how bad it is.
