Don't you find Notes from the Underground hard to read?

I find it needs a lot of attention in order to read it and not to get lost in my own thoughts. Maybe it's also the translation I'm reading that is using a lot of uncommon words. Maybe I'm just illiterate. I'm currently at the second chapter of the part 2.How did you find it?

Edit: I just finished it, wow the second part is way more digestible. It took me a long time to finish the first part and only a couple of hours to finish the second one.
