We all have at least one: the title(s) that you still haven't finished weeks, months, even years after you started reading it, but nevertheless you are determined to finish... someday.

Let's commiserate. What's on your stuck book list?

Les freres Karamazov.

There are so many people in it I just have to start over again basically I guess as I haven't touched it for a couple of months...

I love that book! It was my first Russian, so I understand the difficulty with both the number of characters and each character having a plethora of different names. It’s in my re-read list, and I rarely re-read anything. For me, the tangents embedded in the book made it almost fairy tale like, and I vibe with the slow pacing. The middle section about the convent (I don’t remember the details much) added a lot in the fluidity of the world.

Okay okay I'll get to it, hopefully this Christmas...
