An 11-month novel
I love Russian literature. A couple of years ago, I read Tolstoy's War and Peace for the fun of it.
Today, I'd like to announce that I have finished Anna Karenina, just about eleven months after I started it. It is only 800 and some-odd pages; but for some reason, it took me about seven-eight months longer to finish it than to finish War and Peace.
Whatever. I finished it today. And now I must be off, in search of another ridiculously long book to read in between all my other, shorter books. I'm thinking about Tristram Shandy. Any other suggestions?
