I sometimes wonder if I'm schizo and/or autistic and no one, including therapists, will tell me because they think it won't be good for my mental health to know.

Anna Karenina left me devastated.

For Anna suffering through all the traps of her circumstances and the ultimate loss of her mind. The anxiety and total helplessness hit home hard. For Vronsky unable to understand and communicate with Anna about her circumstances. For Levin because I identified with his struggle for meaning and his conclusion left me hollow. Levin in particular resonated with me like no other character has.

For the writing that is unlike anything else I've read. For the fact I don't even feel like picking up another book because I may have just read one of the finest works of literature.

Nothing has ever left me feeling like this before.
