I like to read classic literature, but I didn't care for this book. It is not the best choice if you are looking for leisure reading. With all due respect to Tolstoy, it tends to drag on and on. There are long chapters on farming and political issues. The novel is philosophical and cultural, which makes it deserving to be a classic, but I'm suprised about all the hype from Oprah and her book club. I don't believe that Oprah took the time to read this from cover to cover. If she did, it was probably her bed-time reading. Overall, I'm proud of myself for getting through it, because it was challenging to read.
