so when does it get good?
>>
>>24709784

page 1. if you get to the part where levin sees kitty skating and compares her to the sun and you're still not convinced then this book isn't for you
>>
>>24709799
im at the part where oblonsky meets levin and that's definitely not page 1
>>
Don't listen to this retard >>24709799
Skip page 1. Nobody reads the preface.
>>
>>24709802

so you're like 10 pages in. get off of here and read.
>>
>>24709807
ironically i actually should've done this, it spoiled the story (anna suicides)

>>24709827
but the prose is so simple and boring...
tell me something cool that happens that motivates me to continue reading!
>>
>>24709843
BRO SPOILERS
The other dude hasn't finished it lmao
>>
>>24709845
Wait nevermind it's you. Teehee~
>>
>>24709845
>>24709851
dummy...
well i don't believe in spoilers that much what matters is the small details
>>
>>24709784
What is the point of threads like these? Just put the book down and move on to something else if you don’t get anything out of it. Some people just won’t enjoy this book as with anything.
>>
>>24709827
He’s still got sixty or so pages before Anna and Vronsky actually show up. LOL
>>
>>24709843
Anna suiciding is a given if you know anything at all about the story beforehand. It’s not something you read for the plot but for the story of how she got there. Of her tragic downfall and of what pushes a woman to do that.
>>
>>24709784
All the boring books are boring in the same way, any interesting book is such in its own way.
>>
>>24709843
fuck you
learn to use spoilers asshole
>>
>>24709784
The first line.
>>
Best translation?
>>
>>24709784
>so when does it get good?

When you reach Anna's death scene. Great early early use of stream-of-consciousness. The book should've ended there, part 8 was a drag.
>>
>>24710237
This, the book could have perfectly started with her suicide and flash backed into how she got there and it would work.
>>
>>24710756
Record scratch, freeze frame, you're probably wondering how I got here
>>
>>24710622
Pevear and volkhonsky
>>
>>24710683
I agree. That stream of consciousness would have been such a mike drop moment
>>
>>24710683
So that's the only scene you liked and it's only because of muh technique? The absolute state
