No I hope I will one day but the sheer size of it I find a bit intimidating and it is a commitment to read it I think. Interested to see what others say about this book
I’d echo Jamie – Probably my favourite book.Kind of like The Beatles though; it’s a shit answer if someone asks for your favourite…
Read it in college and enjoyed it. I was glad to have the prof guiding us through it. Loved Anna Karenina more!
Yes. Absolutely loved it. Was dissappointed when it was finished. The length as a detriment to the book is a red herring.
Yes. I was a teenager. Started it on a Friday after school. Finished it in the early hours of Sunday morning. It was a quest.
Unfortunately I cannot speak Russian or French so I have to content myself with the English translation
Started in 06/2007, finished in 01/2008. Much underlining in this one! 1455 pages with tiny print in this Signet Classic volume. ??

This is my “laptop bag.”

Several months ago, over the holidays. I read the Pevear/Volokhonsky translation
