I stopped the Karamazov Brothers at page 800 something. Is it worth picking up again if up until this point it caused nothing more than 'meh'?

I am three quarters of the way into Anna Karenin. I put it down three months ago and promised myself I'd finish it. I haven't picked it up since. It's a good book, it's just very arduous reading.
I tried reading On the Road three times until on the fourth time I actually finished it and loved it

no. screw Dostoyevsky. i'd rather shoot myself in the face than read TBK again. that or any play by Chekhov. whiny whiny mcrussianwhinerson.
Charles Dickens can DIAF, too. Save it for history class.
True Blood (tv)? everbody's got their panties in a twist over it and i could not be more bored out of my skull if i tried. ditto to A Clockwork Orange.
