I have tried, on several occasions, to read Tristram Shandy and found it very difficult. I had an easier time with Ulysses, oddly enough, than TS. But maybe I should try again.

Do it.
Was it the older English language, or the rambling that threw you off? I haven’t read it either and curious

@@Xxxxxrrr6464 if I remember correctly (it's been awhile now) the titular character doesn't even make an appearance until well into the novel. The first 40-50% of the story is before Shandy's birth, and yet (again, if I recall) Shandy is narrating. An odd premise that, for some reason, threw me.
