I had to read it for a school essay (that determined my going to the uni of my choice). I was really happy that they picked something from my home country so that I could read it in russian (that excitement did not last long). By gods, it is frustrating to read because of the archaic language.

As long as I reminded myself of the time period it was written in I enjoyed it. But, if I would forget that it would annoy me. Lol

I only remember the ending, but it has been over 35 years since I read it. Once was enough.

Literary masterpiece but not not my cup of tea. Attempted many times to read this epic novel but failed every time.
