What are your thoughts on Conrad? I tried reading Nostromo and

I haven't read Nostromo myself yet but I read a number of his other works. The Nigger of the Narcissus and the Secret Agent were my favourite

What I can say about is in his work is a criticism and hatred of the then emerging modern world we're still living in which is very relatable and relevant to this day. If you go in expecting a more spirited and compassionate Victorian novel it may explain your reaction.

it was more the sentence structure and type of language that made it difficult to follow. Maybe I'm just a bit slow in the head.

Nostromo is his magnum opus, it's his most dense and convoluted work. You should probably start somewhere else and work towards it to get a feel for his style

A favorite between the ages of 8 and 14. Essentially a writer for very young people. Certainly inferior to Hemingway and Wells. Intolerable souvenir-shop style, romanticist clichés. Nothing I would care to have written myself. In mentality and emotion, hopelessly juvenile. Romantic in the large sense. Slightly bogus.

I made the mistake of reading Heart of Darkness when i was just beginning to get into literature. It bore me to death, couldn´t get it or finish it.
After some time, being considerably more well-read than before, i reead it again. It just clicked. I enjoyed a lot.
Which one of his works should i read?.
