I read it over and over again when I was young. I still have the copy my mom had as a young girl and a hard cover that my mom bought me later. I should re-read it. I've seen it as a play and watched the movies. I'm a sucker for anything related to Little Women. I do sometime want to read Anna Karenina. Probably, if I had someone else to read it with.<br /><br />Pride and Prejudice seems to be good so far, but I haven't had enough energy to read the last week.The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-37885228223730561962009-07-26T17:58:38.162-05:002009-07-26T17:58:38.162-05:00Hey!

I loved the book and am glad you inspired me to read it (again). I also did not like Anna as the story unfolded, and even tried to imagine living in a world with such double standards. The main thing for me was the fact she left her son who had been her entire world (and she his) for a man. And later, she admitted she had no love for the daughter she had with Vronsky. The fact she had failed her children did not seem to enter into her self pity as she made her fateful choice. As a mother, I found her choices incomprehensible. Maybe we should get a copy of the old movie made in the 30's with Greta Garbo as Anna.

I know thats kind of a cliche answer but I truly did REALLY love that book! I should actually re-read it soon. It's been years since I last read it!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.com
