I know it's a classic. It's been on several must read lists but I cannot stand this book. Boring and blah and the size of a freaking encyclopedia set.

This novel’s plot moved just so slowly and the characters were horrible people!! I just couldn’t get into it at all!

I have been uncertain about this and Goodreads reviews haven't been encouraging.  I need to just let go of books I'm not motivated to read.
