How difficult is reading "Heart of Darkness"?

By LuckyBowl1985

Sorry if I’m posting this in the wrong place. I’ve heard a ton about *Heart of Darkness* and I’m kind of interested in reading it, but I keep seeing that it’s really hard to get through. Is that true? I don’t mind slower or boring books, I just want to actually understand what I’m reading. Should I wait and read something else first, or is it still worth jumping into right now?
