Levin! He is my favorite character in this book so far! Yes, he might be a little slow, very stubborn about certain things - but he shares with me the same feeling of being uncertain about what happens in life, and how to actively find a life better suited for oneself. I am so glad that he finally found satisfaction outside privilege, with community. But then there's Anna. Ahhh. What can I even sayyyyyy, it's complex

As I finally move into the last leg of the book, the tension and expectations are high. This is what I wanted. Akin to the collapse of the wavefunction, it is only now that I will see the ideology of Tolstoy bear its full form, by the way he chooses to end this book.
I really like this book for capturing the 'big ideas' floating around the aristocracy. Especially the ones on democracy, socialism, liberalism, etc.

Tolstoy writes about Anna's feelings and desires in such a profound way that it moves you to such an extent. There definitely is a lot of pain, hurt and jealousy everywhere but one can only hope how life would have been. Alas, are we individually fully responsible for the situation we find ourselves end up in? The contrast and connection between Kitty-Levin and Anna-Vronsky is striking, for sure.

I wish Tolstoy did a little bit more world-building, but nevertheless, his grasp on aristocratic society is very deep.

Reading about Anna's affair with Vronsky reminds me of Baldwin's Another Country. There is something so free about his writing, I can lose myself in this book for hours and hours.

I find Tolstoy's way of blurring dialogues and monologues to be a very interesting stylistic choice. I also like the subtle critique of the 'performative' class. I have just begun the book, and I am very excited to read it.
