When does this get good? Or does it continue to be about rich people problems for 1,500 pages?

It's a fucking soap opera. I can read Cervantes, Shakespeare, and Joyce just fine. But I don't want to read about Russian social etiquette and the incestuous European gentry for 1,500 pages. It's gay.

I crave either having an empathetic connection with some characters, or being aesthetically overwhelmed by great form. I'm getting neither from War and Peace so far. Does it change that much after 200 pages?

I'm like 150 pages in. It's just rich people fighting over a dying man's will

You gotta pay attention then, this book is full of small moments of beauty. The thing is the beauty is in the simplicity: a moment of contemplation, a gesture, a smile, a change of rythm.

Have you read Tolstoy before? You are gonna get to the war bits soon so just keep reading senpai
