If you can get through it, the rest of the series is fantastic. TEotW suffers from a period of time when fantasy publishers pretty much demanded LotR, so everyone wrote LotR.
Are you kidding? This is a great book! I've probably read it about 10 times.
I'm not saying nobody desires to read it, I'm referring to how difficult it is to read because it's so wordy for some people. It's longer than the Deathly Hallows, has hundreds of characters, and the main characters only scratch the surface. Not negative things if you ask me, just these are complaints other people have.

Atlas Shrugged
Gravity's rainbow
Probably meditations or some popular philosophy book.
Among my friend group it's House of Leaves.
"Wow, it's such an eerie unsettling journey. I really love it." "you started it last year, did you finish it?" "well ..."
I saw another lemmy user claim they had to take a 17 year break from it.
