I bounced right off Don Quixote. I just couldn't face a whole lengthy book of that.
I can battle through a difficult and/or boring book as long as it's short.
Dickens is too verbose by far. I'm not sure I trust anyone who claims to enjoy it. Maybe also Thackeray. Those serialized books end up far too long.
And might I suggest, despite the fact that length is definitely not a problem here (in fact, maybe too short?): all poetry.
