It's summer. It's hot. Gorgeous women everywhere. Legs, cute bottoms, lots of skin. I'm going nuts. Are all guys sexually obessed? What's wrong with us. Help.

The problem with reading fiction other than Crime and Romance is that the syntax of sentences is too comlpicated; Sentences are too long -spanning 4-5-6 lines and there are multiple words per page that if you looked up each time in dictionary you will spend equal time looking up and reading.

I am fairly intelligent. I have post graduate training and my vocalulary is better than most people I know -my guess is at least 25,000, 30,000 words - but I am still having this difficulty!
If I have difficulty reading these works of Roth, Updike and Bellow my guess is that 95% of readers do.

So my question is: is it a prerequisite of 'great' literature to be difficult to read? Do the authors do this deliberately or is this their natural flow of language - when they talk in everyday conversation, do they talk in sentences 50-75 words long? Do they automatically discard 97% population from their potential readers and just don't care to communicate with average Joes?

Lets assume eyes work the way science says. Surely your conditioning, knowledge and capacity for critical thinking reveals different aspects of simmilar input from person to person.
