I used to love literature, but this book killed it for me:

The Name of the Rose
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Name_of_the_Rose

F**king inaccessible "gotta look for 20 unknown words in dictionary per page" book. I could probably had enjoy it if wasn't a one month assignment homework then (my classmates cheated and watched the movie), but is hateful when you're obliged and have also other six assignments equally dutiful. So, don't take my word on it. Since then i read books equally "heavier" (over 500 pages, smaller fonts and no images), but only if they're technical language programming references.
