anna karenina

"soemtiems she did not know what she feared, what she desired: whether she deared or desired what had been or what would be, and precisely what she desired, she did not know."

-leo tolstoy, anna karenina

i recently started reading tolstoy's anna karenina & every since starting it, its been hard for me to put it down. i've loved every second of reading the story. it's amazing & it makes me wonder why i never read it before. it's one of the most tragically, beautiful love stories i have ever read & i'm only 200 pages into the near 800 page book... there's still a lot for me to find out but i can tell it's going to be one of my absolute favorites, if not my very favorite book. it really just draws me in.
i decided i had better read it now once i heard they were making a movie about it. i don't like to see a movie & then read the book, so i decided to stop putting it off & to dive in & have fallen in love with this book. i cannot wait for the movie now. i hope it doesn't let me down, i'll be sooo disappointed.
