My ward bookclub is having a break this summer, so we are reading Anna Karenina. Apparently this is one of the greatest books ever written but also one of the most vigorous to read. I have only read about 65 pages so far, out of around 700. It is difficult but I find it easier to understand than I thought. It is very captivating and beautifully written. This isn't "candy" reading, but it is wonderful so far. So while I'm at the pool I will read the fun books and save this for some deep reading at night. If you gals are interested in tackling something hard this summer, try this one!

I've been wanting to read this. Maybe I'll take you up on your challenge!
700 pages? No thanks. Honestly I like books I can get through at a relatively even pace, if that makes sense. I wouldn't have patience for it. You'll have to let me know how it turns out for you, though. I'm impressed.
