I'm currently in the middle of Anna so far and finding it just as comfy perfect time of year to read some Tolstoy.

No need to read Anna Karenina first. It's always best to read in release order to follow the works as a whole better.

Speaking of Resurrection, thoughts on it lads? I for one was insanely disappointed

I really liked it, it was moving. It left me with a haunting feeling and permanently changed my views on empathy. I still come back to it in my mind more often than Anna Karenina.

For me it was when dolly saw one of her kids give her part of the dessert to the other one. Such a simple scene but it hit me right.

>> No.16987714

For me it's when Levin and stepan go hunting

i just finished the first section with the big battle and returned to Pierre and read the first chapter where he notices helene. i hope the pierre bits are indeed good because i did enjoy the military stuff with andrey and nikolay and have become invested
