    Finally got to Dostoevsky's Brother Karamazov. This will take a while.

      This is my K2. Grapes of Wrath is my Everest. I've started it ~7 times and never made it past 120 pages. Good Luck!

      For me, I took a copy of it with me on a solo backpacking trip. It was the only entertainment I had for a week.
