This was a wondeful book by Leo Tolstoy. It was a long and verbose read, but was very well written and had wonderful character development. Read it. it's really good.

Lol - Leo Tolstoy? LEO?
The translated version of his name seems funny to me somehow... In polish its Lew Tołstoj, but I bet that for a Russian THAT would seem funny, too.
As to the book, I think it was okay, but maybe in a few years it will seem better ^_^ (read it when I was ten - i think I was really bored to start the book in the first place, cause I normally stick to fantasy). Maybe I should try the english version...
-I still can;t get over Leo... O well, I suppose you have to translate names somehowe, right? But Leo...
I started reading this book, and loved it. But at the time I was real distracted and wanted something shorter so I could have the instant gratification of reading a book and enjoying it. I really liked it though, so I think I'll take it on again over Christmas or summer break, when I have more time to commit to reading.
*sighs* Another book on my list to read...but my Russian tutor highly recommended it. I have to finish Dostoyevsky first
Levin was probobly the most down to earth character there.
...I fell in love with Levin...he just had all those...agricultural reports and stuff.
I liked Levin. Poor guy... he was so nice. ^_~
Poor Imp: Thanks! haha I was saying Karen-eena!
Yes, it was a very good book. Very Descriptive.
One book of Tolstoy's I haven't finished -- the library wanted it back and I couldn't afford pay fines to keep it... Inept excuse, I suppose. Now it always seems to be out when I go looking for it.
But the first half was brilliant. ^_^ It is Russian, of course.
(Stilltyping: pronounced 'ANNa KarENina' - the syllables capitalised are stressed.)
I love Anna Karenina. Its one of my favorite books, although I avoid mentioning it in conversations because I'm not sure how to pronounce the title.
fixed it ^_~
Uh, Chief, ya spelled Karenina wrong... o.O
