Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
For a brilliant book, it still needed some mighty trimming in parts.
I suppose it's one of the shortfalls of the realistic kind of writing Tolstoy employed that it can drag in parts because the scenes portrayed are somewhat dull and the writing won't let itself be entertaining enough in its own right to save a dull sequence of events.
