I think Harry T. hit the nail.... you have to let the novel come to you...don't push it and then you can 'get it'.... Moby Dick is a brilliant book but you have to be in the mood for it. Granted almost anything written before 1900 is a slavish ordeal....but considering there was no tv, radio, internet or other forms of modern media as there is today....the writing style is more understandable.....The French...some I love..Zola, Balzac...etc...but in bits and slowly.....
