> how do you force yourself to get through a book like Anna Karenina? Don't force yourself to read a book you don't enjoy. Life is too short. There are so many books out there. As many 19th century novels, the plot takes some time to get underway, but I was gripped by the characters and the language from the start. Perhaps you should think of it like a TV show which take a few episodes to establish the characters and universe, before the story gets underway.
