To me it just looks like a random list. How someone can put books like Nightwood, The Phenomenology of Spirit, Finnegans Wake and Clarissa in the same category of difficulty is totally beyond me. I'm betting they just threw a few books that they each were unable to read, for whatever reason, in a hat and then drew ten titles to make up a list.
I've read seven out of the ten, of which I'd class two as hard, one as mad and the remainder as straightforward.
