Authors you DNF'd and went back to later
I couldn't finish Middlemarch at 22. At 30 it was one of the best reading experiences of my life. What authors or books couldn't you get into until you were ready?

Tolstoy. War and Peace seemed impossible. I read it at 32 and it's one of my favorite books. Some books need a life lived first.
Virginia Woolf. Mrs Dalloway seemed impenetrable at 19. At 25 it was transcendent. I wasn't ready for stream of consciousness before.
