Anna Karenina – A Little Further
Posted by turquoisefloyd on July 27, 2004
So this morning I noticed that the spine has split on my copy of Anna Karenina. Leaf 251/252 is loose. Or should that be folio? Maybe it’s folio. Anyway, I am so into this novel that it’s amazing! I’m coming up for page 300 and for once, instead of plaintively hoping that the end will come soon, instead I’m just into it and enjoying it and not worrying about how much longer I’ll be reading this book. It’s such a rich and wonderful vastness that I’m enjoying, from politics to affairs of the heart, from the city to the country… really really wonderful, luscious stuff. A true panorama of life in 19th Century Russia. Everyone should read it.
