Wait, this is your field and you found it difficult? C&P is not a very difficult read. Perhaps dry at points, but not difficult.

I studied forensic(criminal) psychology so I figured Id really like it, but yeah, it seemed to get really tedious and drag on forever at points. The comprehension aspect wasnt bad but I think the culture barrier made it more difficult at some points, its also difficult to track whos who when everyone seems to go by 3 different names. I'll pick it up again and might end up loving it but as it stands i cant reccomend it.

Ah, sorry, nevermind. When you said it was in your field I assumed Literature. Perfectly understandable.

Just finished reading A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. I really enjoyed it and found it very witty

Also, Fight Club is good. It's not Palahniuk's best, but you've probably seen the movie so it's pretty damned accessible.

I read it in High School. I think it's actually pretty common in AP English courses, along with tons of other books that aren't generally read outside of academic circles.
