AnnaKarenina

Gosh, I have not done a very good job at posting consistently. I was going through a very difficult period of life for the last several months. Doing better now, for the most part.

I hope all of my Litsy friends are well and enjoying their books ☺️ I am very much enjoying Anna Karenina so far.

The Brothers Karamazov | Fyodor Dostoevsky

I‘m embarking on a journey into #russianliterature.

I haven‘t read a lot of #classics outside of the Bronte sisters, but I‘m at an age now where I‘m constantly asking myself questions about life, love, good/evil, morality, etc. So I‘m seeking out novels that wrestle with these questions.

I‘m starting with #thebrotherskaramazov and then plan to move on to #annakarenina 📚.

Any others you all recommend? Any advice or thoughts are welcome. ☺️

5feet.of.fury It was a tough one for me, the dialogue meanders a lot 8mo

Bookwomble Crime and Punishment is the Dostoevsky I've read and re-read the most. I'm probably overdue a go around 😏 8mo

BarkingMadRead This one was a lot. We did a buddy read and read a chapter a day, which made it a lot easier. 8mo
