I almost didn't finish The Count of Monte Christo, but I'm glad I stuck with it. There were several really boring passages. Excessive praising of each other, excessive butt-kissing. But it was really worth it in the end. Same for Dracula. I'll never forget either of those two books.

I find that with easy-to-read books, I'm more likely to stick with than hard-to-read books. If it is harder to read, i.e. higher language or older style language, then the book really has to be good to warrant the extra effort.
