Spring Reading Challenge Wrap-up
I actually finished all but one of the books on my Spring Reading Challenge list, and that was because I hated it. Here’s where I ended up.
I continued reading:
~ The Oxford Book of American Poetry
~ An Incomplete Education: 3,684 Things You Should Have Learned but Probably Didn’t
~ The Intellectual Devotional
I finished:
~ Anna Karenina
~ Heart of Darkness & Selected Short Fiction
~ Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War
~ The Quiet American
~ The Best American Short Stories 2007
~ The Ordering of Love: The New and Collected Poems of Madeleine L’Engle
Started, but didn’t finish:
~ The Corrections
I’m still reading! *Wink*

I started Anna Karenina. I stopped. But since I just read your review, I may just start again.
I actually started the audio book. What I think I may do is get the actual book, so I can read a bit and put it down, and stuff.

Lawanda - what I ended up doing was keeping a note card for a bookmark. Then I wrote down the character’s names and who they were in relation to the other characters. One of the hard things with Russian novels is that the people have so many names, and then also diminutive forms of those names. For example, Dolly was also Princess Darya. Vronsky was Count or Alexey, etc. Once I started writing them down, it helped me keep track better.
