So I don't know if I've mentioned that my current reading project is Anna Karenina , a book I picked up at spring break by Tolstoy. It's long and there are these pesky friends wanting to watch movies and the pesky people who want me at work--not reading a book.
I'm about halfway through the book and I love it. It's well-written. It has a great plot, great character development. It's kept me reading and it makes me think and get a new persepective on the political, social system of Russia back before there was no Tsar. The contrast between the characters is excellent and I think Tolstoy is making his point clear. Course, it's easier to say that now many years later...
Not that I don't like playing Anti-Monopoly or watching movies, or even going to work though :-) I just like reading too and I hate having an unfinished book. Alas...
Posted by Anna at June 15, 2004 11:20 PM | TrackBackY'know, I had that on my to-read list (not the vague and ephemeral one that comprises most of the known written works in existence, but the actual hard copy of about the next thirty that I more or less try to follow) way back. I think it was near the bottom of the list I composed not long before I graduated but I never got there and it got swallowed by other things. It's been in the back of my mind for awhile . . . maybe it's nearly time to get it back up there somewhere . . .
And your theme o'the week still doesn't work. ;)
