You are a strong, amazing reader. I only read Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, and the passages abut country life being superior morally and emotionally to the debauchery of the city were gruelling. Since then I'm too scared to even start War and Peace, which is twice as long. Good luck to you!

I feel you: Tolstoy books are huge investments in terms of time! Yay, you did a fantastic job finishing AK! Completing this one has become a challenge against my procrastination tendencies, 'I shall overcome this, I SHALL!'

This book is such a beast but one of my all time favorites. The BBC adaptation captures the essence of it so well (should you want more of it after you finish reading 🤣). Good luck on your remaining journey with this one…. I’m biased, but it’s worth the effort.

I've always wanted to read this book, but I wasn't sure I could finish the book. I look forward to your review!

Tbh I wasn't sure I could even read it halfway through. Diluting reading this book with HRs has so far helped me not to DNF! This way it feels like less of a monumental endeavour

Thank you Morgan! I agree that it's an occasionally challenging but 100% rewarding read. If you say that the BBC adaptation is worth watching then I am definitely going to after finishing the book! I love comparing adaptions to the source material lol

That's a smart way to go... divide the series.
