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?
I want to read “On the Origin of Species” by Darwin and have already bought it. I just can’t bring myself to read it yet because I know it won’t be easy going. Same with “Divina Commedia” by Dante. Both might be sitting another few years on my bookshelf.
