Anna Karinena is one of my all time favorites. What a swirl of humanity! I read it about every 5 years and first read it as my mother was dying. Parallels. Tolstoy was such a great humanist and I like it that a man was writing so clearly about Anna's entrapment back then. His descriptions of the natural world are glorious and of a place and wildness long-gone. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
And thanks for sharing your list too. We're on different topics these days, but It's always inspiring.
