Answer
I didn't find it that difficult to read. I read it in the...tenth grade? Ninth or tenth when I really started getting into Greek mythology. It can be difficult to keep all of the characters straight, but if you're good with juggling several characters, you'll be fine.
"Gulliver's Travels" is one of my favorite novels. Jonathan Swift is incredibly clever and jaded.
"Tristram Shandy" is really interesting, too. It's a modernist text written two hundred years before Modernism.
"The History of Don Quixote de la Mancha" is another one of those books that you should definitely read at some point in your life.
Milton's "Paradise Lost" has one of the best characters in all of literature. Milton's Satan. Incredibly interesting, with powerful language.
Shakespearean plays: Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Julius Caesar, Richard II

Is it still possible to purchase the Millennium Masterworks collection?
Q. I've heard that they started reprinting some of the Millennium Masterworks collection, both SciFi and Fantasy, with new covers and I was wondering where can you purchase them online? Everywhere I search I just find the lists of books or pictures of the new covers but no links as to where to purchase them. I'd love to start working on getting these series since they look gorgeous and have some of the greatest books written in their genre. The original Masterworks are hard to find and expensive so I want to get started on the New Masterworks as soon as possible.
Answer
I found this by searching for "Amazon [book title] 2010"
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Forever-War-S-F-Masterworks/dp/0575094141
Other books in the series in the 2010 reprints appear in the "customers who bought this item also bought" at the bottom
