"The Lady with the Dog"

I honestly can't say I'm a fan of Chekhov. And this story did little to change my mind. I respect as a writer, and for what he did for the writing world, but his stories tend to bore me. Here I had little interest or care for the Dmitri or the women he is after. Sure, the technical aspect of the writing is nice, and I'm sure I could learn a lot from it. The plot however, moves too slowly for me, and focuses too much on the mundane. Added with the fact that the central characters are wholly unlikeable just adds to it. Perhaps I should read some of his other work to get a better sense of his abilities, but "The Lady with the Dog" just doesn't impress me much.
