I really could not get through Heart of Darkness and it isn't even that long.

OMG same

One of the few times I resorted to Cliffs Notes.

There's something about Conrad's writing style (how he constructs sentences) that I just find really impenetrable, and I'm not sure what it is. However, I did find that if I read out loud I was able to follow it a lot better.

That said, HoD bothers me, regardless. I just hate how it's framed as the narrator having seen this horrifying, profound Truth about existence. It makes complete sense for the time the book was written in, but from a modern perspective HoD reads more like a look into the power trauma and mental disorder has to warp the human perspective. Which is fine, but that's often not how the book is taught. I had a prof who did not question the reliability of the narrator at all.
