I think it was Darcy who mentioned on another thread that he didn't feel ready yet to read The Divine Comedy and The Brothers Karamazov, and I was curious if other members have certain books they really want to read, but currently don't feel like they quite can, for whatever reason.
A few off the top of my head:
The Divine Comedy: I'm fascinated by this work, but I can't help but feel if I read it right now, I won't quite grasp the scope and depth of the work. It's something that I really want to put a lot of effort into.
Canterbury Tales: I've read a bit of this in a modernized translation, and greatly enjoyed what I read but I don't feel ready to read it in the original english just yet. I know a lot of people say that it's not too hard once you understand the basic words and so on, but I still feel daunted by it whenever I flick through.
Faerie Queen: I think it has something to do with the length. I have no problem reading long novels, but I'm not sure if I'm quite ready for a 1200 page poem, regardless of my love of poetry. The longest epic poems I've read are The Iliad and The Metamorphoses, both of which I loved, but I think I may a read a few more epics before moving on to this one.
