I was out for a long ride. I just got in as it was getting dark (8:10 out here).

Guyon... or anyone else.

Is "Anna Karenina" by Tolstoy worth the time it will take to read it, it is about 850 pages:eek:?

My newest user, a cigar, my cigar cutter and a little JWB to wash it all down.
 
Mmmm no answer from Guyon.... Google must be down:p

But we need a good HOG book thread.

#1 Book "Lonesome Dove"

others:
1. Soldier of the Great War
2. Endurance – the storey of Shackleton ’s failed adventure to the south pole
3. Touching the Void
4. Education of Little Tree
5. Jack London on Adventure – and any other London short story

Bastid. :D

I've actually never read Anna Karenina. I have a copy of the book given to me a few years back by someone whom I've come to dislike. So I have mixed feelings even about starting the novel. I'm told it is an amazing look into the psyche of a woman, comparable or even superior to Joyce's depiction of Molly Bloom. However, I cannot say yet if I buy the argument. Give me a few more years, and I'll probably have read it.

Vodka Dirty Martini:

Vodka and a splash of vermouth. Shaken with ice. At least three olives. Two tablespoons of olive juice added after pouring the drink. That's my recipe and I'm sticking to it.

No Hemingway???!!!! :eek:
 
Right now I'm reading four books:

"The Pacific and other stories" by Mark Helprin
"The Birth of Venus" by Sasah Dunant
"Anna Karenina" --- just about 70 pages into it
"Compleat Angler", Walton

They are all interesting although I'm not that far into "Anna...", I need to get anouther inch or so into that to tell. The start was.... well dry.

Tolstoy's like that. But once you get past the first few hundred pages, it really picks up.

Good point...

I just read one too ... what was the one about the 50 year old Major in Italy who is in love with the 19 year old beauty? Ah.... "Across the River and into the Trees"

I have read the "Nick Adames Stories" and started "A Farewell to Arms" but I lost it in the house somewhere and can't find the dam thing:grumpy:
 
It doesn't get much better than "The Old Man and the Sea."

Sparse, powerful, mythical, insightful.

Of course, I'd just like to catch a giant marlin in my kayak. :D :p
