Am I the only one who struggles with and feels exhausted reading some books? I felt particular difficulty trying to read Nausea, as well as Ulysses. It literally makes me feel tired, as though my brain were a muscle, although I am always trying to read difficult literature such as this and it never just becomes something I can plow through without becoming mentally tired.

No anon, that makes sense. I usually have a coupla books being read at the same time. Usually one difficult novel and/or collection of poetry, and when that becomes a bit too much I turn to like a light philosophical novel (think like Kunderra or something) or a non-fiction book. This makes it a wee bit easier

Depending on how interesting I find the book, this could be a good feeling. Some books are meant to give you dread, which is sort of what the character in Nausea is going through. Not everything should be peachy keen lollypops and rainbows.

It's not that I find it emotionally difficult to deal with, it's that a lot of the time I have no idea what they're saying.

then you mean you are having trouble understanding. It's fine, just take it slow and reread passages. like many intellectual activities, reading is an exercise, the more you do it the better you get at it. Maybe you should start with something lighter, do you like science fiction or horror?
