The Brothers Karamozov (Fyodor Dostoevky)

Okay, so my classic reading spree has gone a skosh too far and I am over the deep end in pages over my head. That and it's not fun anymore. Unlike the Joyce attempt, this book was not obfuscated or as hard to follow as breadcrumbs at an aviary. No. Dostoevsky has a great, detailed story-telling style full of ripe, psychological dialog. It's just frickin long and I don't have the patience right now. Plus, it's due at the library and I'm only on page 246 of 720. I think Dostoevsky, much like a foreign language, must be part of a class' instruction. You'll never get through it on your own unless you buy the audio tapes.
