Oh, I like that one. I tried to read it earlier this year, but got sidetracked. :-(


Melissa (ladybug) | 233 comments I have never even tried to read it. ;) I am going to try and get through it before seeing the movie and noticed it hadn't been read yet. :)

Midnight tomorrow is your last chance to nominate a book for October!
So far it's Anna Karenina.

Well, I'm wide awake so thought I would post that we do not need a poll as only one book was nominated.

We will be reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. It's almost 1,000 pages so we'll probably take 2 months for this one. From what I read earlier this year, it might be a fast read, but there are still just so many hours in a day. :-) I look forward to this one.

I'm not sure the Keira Knightley version of this movie is very faithful to the book. But I can't say for certain because I haven't watched it.

Started listening to the audio (27 discs!) ...

I'm so behind on everything. Hope to start is soon, but want to finish some other shorter ones first.
27 discs! Wow!
