OMG this is my favorite novel of all time. I know it has a horrible message of the adulterous woman but I truly love this book - the passion, romance, intriguing characters, all the beautiful set pieces of 19th century Russia, I just love it. I have read it dozens of times since I was a teenager.

It's a great study on what NOT to do in a romantic relationship, *lol*. I broke out in a case of laughter over a character (Stevin) who just can't seem to get it right. Stevin goes out to skate on ice to woo the woman he's attracted to, but the woman sees right through the facade of his moves. She busts Stevin by telling him that she's not attracted to him at all because he 'stirred another woman' wrongly. Priceless!!!

 The Slave Ship: A Human History by Marcus Rediker In this widely praised history of an infamous institution, award-winning scholar Marcus Rediker shines a light into the darkest corners of the British and American slave ships of the eighteenth century. Drawing on thirty years of research in maritime archives, court records, diaries, and firsthand accounts, The Slave Ship is riveting and sobering in its revelations, reconstructing in chilling detail a world nearly lost to history: the "floating dungeons" at the forefront of the birth of African American culture.

And, I'll keep that in mind about the end of the Tolstoy book, too.
