Frustrating when this happens.

War and Peace was my favorite book, but I've tried Anna Karina three times to no avail.

I loved Eco's Foucault's Pendulum and The Name of the Rose, but I think I actually tried The Island of the Day Before like, 5 times, and I actually threw it against a wall once. It was so boring and bad. I know cgod had an issue with that one too.

As far as Karina goes, I'm blaming it on the tranlsation for now. I read War and Peace via three different translations, and the character and feel of the book definitely moved between them.
