Anna Karenina

Leo Tolstoy

One of the best books ever written, but only the part about Anna. There is a lot of pages that you could skip, that to me, dosen't relate to the story apart from painting up the russian social-political scene of the time.

Could've named it Anna Karenina Konstantin Dmitrievich Levin but I digress.
          The amount of quotes, prose, paragraphs upon paragraphs and pages one could ponder on from this single book is staggering. Revisiting and reflecting upon them is a whole another experience in and of itself. You can tell it's a great Russian classic when you have to fight the urge to keep revisiting the stuff you've highlighted  before even finishing the book. Unbelievably good.

Herhangi bir aşk hikayesi anlatan bir kitap değil, sadece aşk hikayesi anlatan bir kitap hiç değil. Okuduğum en akıcı klasik olabilir. Olayların ve konuşmaların içinde olmak tüm bu yaşananlara canlı canlı şahit olmak istedim. Her bir karakter keskin şekilde birbirinden ayrılıyor, konuşmaları okurken o kişinin kim olduğunu anlayabiliyorsunuz. Gerçekten hayran kalınacak bir kitap. Karakterlerin hemen hemen hepsinin iç çatışmalarını okumak, toplumsal eleştirilerin olduğu sayfalarda durup düşünmek.. Kitap gerçekten dolu dolu.

i get anna honestly.. we as ladies are too weak for a man in uniform

we love heartbreak and adultery

A little slow in places but overall I really enjoyed this.

3.6/5 stars, full review to come! There are some bomb quotes in this book but does that make up for my lack of satisfaction with the plot?
