Don't. Sorry to spoil the meme, but those are all infamously hard books. Read The Stranger or Siddhartha.

2666 hard? What´s particularly hard about that book besides maybe being a little too long? I read it without any difficulties

:( I've been bamboozled. whats so hard about them anyway, do some books require more experience to read or are they just harder to understand

I recommend the following.

Dense intertextuality coupled with dense language generally - reading classics and simpler books which precede the postmodern books on that list provides the technical skills required to parse meaning both in terms of basic sentiment and subtle themes approached by way of allusion

They're difficult for different reasons. War and Peace is very long basically (and also maybe a large cast of characters to keep track of, with multiple different names as well). Ulysses has some chapters in a rather impenetrable stream-of-consciousness style (the last chapter is 40 pages and just two machine-gun sentences). JR is all dialogue, and Gaddis does not help the reader in terms of who says what.

I have a sort of bad habit of getting wordy very quickly; I'm also pretty tired which seemingly exacerbates the tendency
