Dr. Zhivago
by Boris Leonidovich Pasternak
Published in 1957 (I finished it on April 04, 2002)
A tough TOUGH read! I took over 6 months to finish this book. It just didn't suck me in. I'd get in, wander around for a page or two, then want to leave. But something did keep me coming back to it. Hard to recommend it though. Just not too catchy. It's also one of the few stories that I'd suggest seeing the movie first. There are so many names to have to memorize.

So many books … (you know the rest)
