up to page 480
Ok this is a long freaking book. Like really freaking long...and dense. And it's good. It is really, really good but I'm fighting the impulse to put it down to read something else for a while. I worry if I do that, I will have a very hard time picking Anna Karenina back up. On the other hand, I'm fighting with myself trying to get pages in. I'm averaging something like 70 pages a day, which I consider a triumph given the material, but I'm falling behind my page schedule.
Honestly, this is what reading a novelisation of Downton Abbey would be like. There's all this character drama and it's good but after a while I feel like I need to sit the characters down and say... "So tell me about your relationship with your mother." Really. They all just need therapy, which is fun to read for the same reason that people like watching daytime soap operas.
If I keep reading at my current rate, I'll finish off the book sometime this weekend.
Maybe I need a break.
