I might be a little biased as a freemason, but War and Peace is awesome, in a long boring sort of way. I like Tolstoy in general and W&P in particular. My fave Russian is P.D.Ouspensky though, he's really out there and as such not dry at all.

Anna Karenina was sort of "good in a long boring way" so I can understand how that might be. Never heard of Ouspensky to be honest, I'll keep him in mind if there's some english translations.
He learned English and translated it himself. Tertium Organum is my fave.
