Thanks! I’m going now to pick up the Maude translation.

I think I’m going to stick it out with “Anna Karenina” first, as I think I tried to read it too fast in the beginning and burnt out because of it. Then I think I’ll read one of Thomas Hardy’s novels. I’ve never read anything by him, so I’m looking forward to it!

Hey, everyone! I'm really glad I found this group. Last year, I started reading from Bauer's list of recommended novels. I got pretty far until I hit a snag with "Anna Karenina." After that, I slowed down considerably. I'm hoping that, with a community of others devoted to reading the classics, I'll find the motivation to continue, because it is such a gratifying pursuit!
