I'm about 250 pages into The Brothers Kamarazov right now. It's one of my brother's favorite novels and he's been trying to get me to read it for awhile. I just always lean more towards reading three or four shorter books than one super long one. Prior to this I've only read shorter stuff by Dostoyevsky like Poor People, Notes from the Underground, and The Crocodile (I think that's it) all of which I really liked. I'm liking The Brothers too, but it's kind of dragging for me, kind of like the British and American Romantic novels from around the same time that were also printed in serial where it just seems like there's a lot of fat that could've been trimmed around the gems. The characters are a lot more interesting than the hoity-toity characters in a lot of those books though. Maybe it will all come together further along or maybe I'm just off on this but have about 500 pages left and am already looking forward to reading something else.
