The 1000+ page book with footnotes and footnotes to footnotes.
I'm working my way up to that. Building endurance, like getting ready for a marathon.
I saw a video essay from some dude a few months back that opened my eyes. He was talking about people who have either never built the habit of reading or lost it over time, deciding at some point that they needed to get back to reading, then picking up "Blood Meridian" as the one they'll get started with, inevitably falling flat on their faces and deciding reading is not for them. Getting training for a marathon was his analogy.
I'm probably a few years away from re-tackling that book (bailed out 100+ pages into it twice -- a decade or so apart).
