Have you ever tried to read something only to be put off by its difficulty? It happens to everyone, even the best educated and well-read people.
Personally, I’ve tried to tackle “Moby-Dick” on three separate occasions, only to abandon it not long after the Pequod sets out on its ill-fated voyage. Despite being acclaimed as one of, if not the, best American novel, it’s just too dense to be an enjoyable read for me.
