I'd like to suggest that reading choice, at all ages, resembles a vortex. One's favourite books and authors swirl round, and are re-read (I've always been a great re-reader). New books are sucked in to join the vortex, and some of the favourites gradually sink down, just occasionally bobbing back up...
Finally !!! I read this over such a long period of time, but i really enjoyed it ! This book was Clever, full of ideas, and philosophies. Dostoevsky's characters and thoughts are very fascinating. one of the greatest books ever written, I'am Sure. in short, the story is about The idiot, a very kin...
I would have loved to give War and Peace a 5 star rating. I was so close, too. But then we reached the 100-page epilogue and it was all downhill from there.

I had a similar experience with the Brothers Karamazov and then suddenly about 2/3 of the way through, the book just gelled and I instantly knew that it was going...
This book had its moments, but on general, it pains me to say that it was mediocre. Now when I'm thinking about it, some great quotes are coming to my mind, but that's all, and hence the three stars.
