Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
WOOOWWWW. I was trying to figure out what the pleasure of Anna Karenina was, but I think it is just a pleasure to be reading it. Loved this, so much.
I will say I disliked Levin quite a bit (which is funnier considering he’s Tolstoy’s self-insert). God, the Russian farming sections. Struggled through that. I wonder what made Tolstoy name the book after Anna when Levin is featured more heavily. He seems to be the main protagonist here. Sections 2 and 3 are slow, but 8 is the disappointing one. So much happens between 7 and 8 we don’t get to see and should!!
