You're piquing my interest. At this rate, I will die unhappy because I won't have read all the books I want to read.<BR/><BR/>Then again, heaven has libraries, doesn't it?

There is a reason why Austen has no rival but Dickens for the place of the best novelist in the English language.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698839146562734910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092896.post-85638675546084795462007-02-22T08:51:00.000-06:002007-02-22T08:51:00.000-06:00I read one of Tolstoy's short stories once, a famo...I read one of Tolstoy's short stories once, a famous one whose name eludes me, and I thought it was quite beautiful. I would like to read <I>War and Peace</I>, and maybe <I>Anna Karenina</I>, although I've heard a bit about Anna Karenina and it didn't interest me so much after that. Either way, I doubt I'll have the time within the foreseeable future.

I'll have to try it, though like you most of what I read doesn't turn up. <BR/><BR/>But you didn't actually say whether you had read any of Tolstoy - I've read War and Peace twice and loved it (but then I'm an historian). <BR/><BR/>But if I can't get you interested in that Russian, you have gotten me interested in Dostoevsky enough Clemenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922786452973982414noreply@blogger.com
