Anna Karenina being among my favorite novels transcends beyond the ages. I try to read it almost after every few years, to make myself believe that there is such a thing as human nature, and that some part of that nature remains fundamentally unaffected by history and culture. I try to re-read it every few years. The two sides, country and urban life are such pleasure to read. Tolstoy constantly tells us through it to aim higher, understand the world closely and that positivity first comes from you and then around.
This is the kind of novel that everyone must read the understand the most innate nature of the world and surrounding.
