Anyone else have a book (or books) that they want to read but just never seem to actually get around to reading? Any books you feel like you ought to read but never do?
Probably unpopular, but for me it’s classic Russian literature- War and Peace, Crime and Punishment and the like. I know they’re supposed to be amazing, but I just can’t work up the energy to read them. I think Anna Karenina soured me on Russian literature; the middle portion of that book with Levin on the farm was such a drag that I’m hesitant about the other books.
What about you?
Ah, gotcha, the farm bit definitely was a bit of a change of pace, lol. I don’t know how a novel with that many characters should be structured, but possibly a huge section of just one character wasn’t ideal. I’m glad you enjoyed the rest.
