tl;dr
Is this worth reading? It's been on my list for some months now but have been putting it off because of its length.
>>9719321
easily one of the best novels of all time
>>9719321
great book -- perhaps my favorite in terms of insight into social relations and introspection.
>>9719321
It has qualities
>>9719321
As plain as they come
people get scared by its lenght

I heard that it's more difficult than Ulysses as well
>>9721592
Both are perhaps conceptually challenging (MWQ more so than Ulysses) but neither have difficult language.

Personally I don't think so. I found Ulysses to be more dense. The man without qualities shifts from philosophy to narrative, but it's a pleasure to read, even though definitely not easy.
