Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

This is a facinating classical novel. I really love this story, compare to War and Peace (which I am still stuck at Bk. 2 of Vol. II)
Anna is so much like me, always pessimistic. It is absolutely scary!!! Her bravey in pursuring her love is something I can never compare.... The courage in her is just unbelievable considering the century she lived in.
It really is a tragic that she ended up taking her live just to make her lover remember her....... What a shame.

Do read this book!! I enjoy this as much as I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.... Brilliant Novels!!!

    It's been said that Anna Karenina is a romance comedy because in the end she was free from the drama. Tolstoy himself deemed it a comedy too.
