Anna Karenina starts on a kind note: a loveless arranged marriage between a young woman named Anna and her much, much older husband starts crumbling because Anna falls in love with a young man. So yes, love between people of the same age, condemnation of arranged marriages, and all that. However, di...
I did not find Anna Karenina easy to read. The novel spanned over 1000 pages (read: far too long), and covered such a wide variety of topics – eg. politics and rural farming – that, at times, I was heartily bored, and at other times I wondered why I was reading a story that I knew was going to end w...

I read the other day that Anna Karenina was one of the three books Ayn Rand utterly detested.

Having read The Fountainhead this past fall, it has a lot of similarities in its structure...
I've found this book very interesting looking back over it as a whole. I have such respect for Tolstoy and his ability to write characters and social commentary. The different nuances he put into the characters and the manner in which they react to events was incredible.The characters all seemed rea...
