The best part is Levin who cares about the train schedule

It's an example of the worst style of books in existence, whose stole purpose is to occupy time in the reader's life through sheer empty length. People only think it's good because it's foreign, old, and well-known. I tried to read this once and it was like trying to eat the contents of a dumpster using a teaspoon. I would genuinely rather stare at the wall and occupy myself with my own thoughts for the 15 hours it would otherwise take to finish the rest.

that same fucking book in your image spoils it in the introduction. it was when i was a gullible young naive boy who read intros.
also, no it didnt ruin it but i hated having the thought in my head

This. Dostofags call tolstoys work "Soap Opera' because they are mad that outside this board, tolstoy is considered the superior writer.

Whats your favorite part in AK, littybros?
For me its the scene where one of Levins brothers die. Very sad.

The final part after the "ending" is what makes the book worth reading
