So its like i am in English hons again..reading heavy classics and ending them in the given deadline (decided by me). Its fun..not reading those books per say but finishing them. This current Leo Tolstoy book i read..i did not feel connected to the characters..at all. I mean i usually feel a connection, an empathy with most of the characters in most of the books i ve read and its not cuz the protagonist or the antagonist is real-life or believable(wizard..really?) but cuz something there makes you wonder how i would behave if the same thing had happened to me or more like i want it to happen with me but this book did not connect to me in that way even with the ample amount of time i have these days and i really don care about Russian peasant's life in the 17th century. I don't.
Actually, thinking about it now while writing this blog, there was definitely an opposition towards the woman(Anna) and her behavior towards her chosen partner. Her hamartia, so to say, was her extreme lack of faith in the guy she began to live with deserting her husband and child..i mean..decide woman!!!!! I'm being callous but there was no reason for her to behave the way she did and die.

Hey, btw, happy new year!:)
