How do you enjoy Russian lit?
Do I just have a short attention span?

If you don't like Russian lit, don't force yourself to read it. I personally like it, but if I ever stopped liking it then I would stop seeking it out. Too many people care more about what they have read than the act of reading itself

Read Gogol. If you don't like his short stories, its over. Just stick to reading midwit shit like Bradbury and Herbert if you can't manage that.

The only Russian book I've managed to read and enjoy is A Hero of our Time, it is my favourite novel besides A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Foucault's Pendulum
I haven't read any other Russian books yet
It's so fucking perfect man
The bit where he overhears them plotting to get him into a duel and he just goes with it
The bit in which he just decides to kill the man just because
The bit where he decides to seduce that girl even though his supposed friend loves her, just because
I fucking love Pechorin
