Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
5.0

Having read and not loved War and Peace I was hesitant to give Anna Karenina a chance. Turns out I was already hooked in the first hundred pages (about a 10th of the sprawling novel) and proceeded to fly through the tale of adultery, love, death and the ‘meaning of it all’. With some of the most complex and well written characters I’ve ever read this quickly became one of my favorite novels and certainly up there with my top Russian novels.
