Thanks! It's been working pretty well for me so far--and it also helps that even though Anna Karenina is a long book, its chapters tend to be pretty short...there's just a whole lot of them.
I'm 100% sure that there are books I read as a kid that haven't aged nearly as well; I also read a bunch of old-school kids' classics, so you can imagine. But there are also tons of amazing young adult and middle-grade books; I'd say that there are a bunch that are actually even more fun to read when you're older and can better appreciate how well-written they are. So there's definitely still time for you to get into them, if you want!
