Anna Karenina

I love reading. I love it so much that I am in two book clubs, which means that I have two "assigned" books to read each month. For June's book clubs, I have already read The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson (highly enjoyable) and Welcome to the Great Mysterious by Lorna Ladvik (also very enjoyable).


I have a loooong list of books to read. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy has been on that list for quite some time, and I finally decided to dive into it this past week. There is just something a little bit intimidating about starting a nearly 900 page book. I have read almost 250 pages and I am really enjoying it. I will let you know if and when I ever finish it! (I thought about trying to get a book club to tackle it, but then I thought better of it. If anyone has read it and wants to discuss I am available.)
