In between reading business, chick lit, non-fiction, etc, I like to go back and read some of the classic stories, like "Anna Karenina". I'm nearing the end of this amazing book. This is a great book full of strong characters and stories to follow. For anyone who has not read it here is the book description:
Anna Karenina has beauty, social position, wealth, a husband, and an adored son, but her existence seems empty. When she meets the dashing officer Count Vronsky she rejects her marriage and turns to him to fulfill her passionate nature-with devasting results. One of the world's greatest novels, Anna Karenina is both an immortal drama of personal conflict and social scandal and a vivid, richly textured panorama of nineteenth-century Russia.
While previous versions have softened the robust, and sometimes shocking, quality of Tolstoy's Writing, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have produced a magnificent translation that is true to his powerful voice. This award-winning team's authoriative edition also includes an illuminating introduction, a list of principal characters, suggestions for further reading, and full explanatory notes.
I would truly recommend you reading this book. You will not be disappointed.
