Brothers Karamazov is amazing, but unless you're trying to be a Russian lit scholar, there's no reason to try and understand absolutely everything. You should try your best to keep track of names, but you'll be fine just making reasonable guesses about vocabulary and the names of locations.

My wife can do this, I cannot. If I don't understand everything, it makes me want to jump out a window. It takes me months to crawl through hard books, taking notes, underlining, looking up every word.
