I'm about 200 pages into Anna Karenina right now. I'm really enjoying it so far. I feel like I'm a part of the world and each character is a friend of mine. I also don't really mind the long detailed paragraphs, while over all they mostly just describe trivial things, I feel that those things are the details of the painted picture. The little things in the background that while you don't need it to understand and like the picture or painting as a whole it just gives it that finer detail that adds to it. I donno. Just really digging it so far.
