What books will give me the feelings of ecstasy and love of humanity I felt reading Anna Karenina?

I put off reading Anna Karenina for a long time because I was reluctant to read a book about a woman. I’m glad I finally read it though. The parts with Levin hunting snipe with his dog, or even just mowing grain on his farm were so damn comfy.

Plus Vronsky was alpha as fuck, racing horses, plowing and impregnating married sloots and finally going off to Serbia to remove kebab or die trying.

I wound up thoroughly enjoying the book. I just skipped over the parts that were predominantly about non male characters.

I'm sure I've seen this bait before but it still gets my goat.

That’s not the number 1, but the number 2. War and Peace is the greatest. Tolstoy, however, is the greatest novelist, whitout a shadow of a doubt.

The most poetic novelist is Melville, with his Moby Dick.
