Sophie (The Uneducated Reader)’s comments from the Classics Without All the Class group.

Doctor Zhivago was a tough one for me. My reading level wasn't up to at that point and the historical and political parts of it just went over my head. Plus Russian names are always a sticking point! and this was my first massive Russian book. I did end up finishing it and quite enjoyed myself, I just wasn't up to it yet.

I have this one my unread shelf. I read the first hundred or so pages but felt bogged down in the politics of an era I didn't know enough about to understand or enjoy. I just couldn't get into it.

This group sounds right up my alley! I feel like I'm always out of my depth when talking about Classics, having never studied them, or anything for that matter! But I love classics with all my heart, and enjoy them above just about every other genre.
