Anna Karenina

in response to Kristin

I’m looking for books to read in December that are cozy and moody and atmospheric. No rom-com but any other genre.

The Pevear and Volokhosky translation. I know it seems daunting but it’s hilarious and poignant and gripping. I recommend a ritual involving a wool blanket and some Earl Grey tea and a little notebook to capture all the gold nuggets.

“Listened to 26 glorious hours of this production while in a morose mood driving from Vermont to Colorado—just so rich and propulsive, Maggie is GREAT. Still had about 10 hours left to ease me into the landscape / spiritual adjustment upon arrival.”
