Wow. Just wow. I’m in awe. This is so awesome! #readinggoals
The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle – We read these 2 years ago for the first time– I really liked them! Have you read the short story “The Ransom of Red Chief” by O Henry? written around the same time era (the kids loved that one)
I just read Anna Karenina in 2021 for my first time through. I’m still recovering lol. She was such a trainwreck (no pun intended!) Yikes. She joins Scarlett O Hara and Becky Sharp as my top 3 “worst-ever fiction anti-heroines”. I will have to read it again. All of the good in Levin and Kitty was lost on me because I was so disgusted/appalled/shocked by Anna.

Thanks!
Washington Irving is great. Yes, the Ransom of Red Chief is hilarious, Iâve read that one with my reading students a few times.
You should to give Anna Karenina a reread. Thatâs one of my top five novels. Kitty and Levin are delightful. I donât think it does Anna justice to place her with Becky Sharp or Scarlett. They do manipulative things in such a heartless way. Annaâs torn, and she follows her passions; they lead her first to pleasure and then to death. I think itâs just great, but definitely not to everyoneâs taste.
