Finnegans Wake written by James Joyce is widely considered the hardest to understand book in the English language. The following is an exert from Finnegans Wake:
"Thus the unfacts, did we possess them, are too imprecisely few to warrant our certitude..."
Joyce said that his book was written about the night and that he couldn't write it straight forward because when one is half-conscious or unconscious ones mind is not focused so he felt that only the idiosyncratic language he used could capture what he was trying to say.
Certainly interesting if not utterly baffling.
