I've made the executive decision to stop reading War and Peace.

It's not "bad," I just don't enjoy it and it's become more of a burden to me to read. Nothing really keeps me engaged to it aside developments in individual love narratives. If this book was more oriented on the Masonic lodges and life in the war instead of Russian aristocracy maybe I would persist but I'd rather read more books and enjoy said books than unwillingly finish War and Peace just for pseud credit.

i found war and peace incredibly entertaining, especially the aristocrat parts
i also watch soap operas so this may have something to do with it

I gave up a quarter of the way in, don't get me wrong it was an enjoyable read and I'll probably return to it but plowing through 70 pages a day and then still having like 800 to go give me a sense of fatigue

It's ok, most of Russians consider it boring as fuck, even Tolstoy himself didn't like it.
