Reading matters - left on Kanlaon's Blog

I have not read the first two books, but Anna Karenina, I read about 6-10 years ago - Very sad. Tolstoy supposed to have based it on a train accident that he witnessed. Wonderful descriptions, her lover with teeth like spades, Anna wearing the dress with the white lace collar. The way she goes through with it, even though she may have sensed that the man will not be with her for long. I am no good at delayed gratification as regards my reading. I have to read a book at once. Kyi M. Kaung
