The Stacks Book Club — May 2021

~ TheStacksPodcast ~ Leave a comment

I’ve talked about it for a while, and now we’re finally doing it…reading a Russian Classic Novel!

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy is argued to be one of the best novels of all time. We’re going to read it for The Stacks Book Club and see what all the fuss is about. The book follows Anna as she enters into an extramarital love affair that becomes a major scandal. And then there is Levin, a socially awkward socialite, who falls head over heels for Kitty. The book tackles life, love, and politics, and leaves the reader with plenty to think about. The perfect kind of book club book!

We will be discussing Anna Karenina on Wednesday, May 26th. You can find out who our guest will be by listening to the podcast on May 5th. If you’d like even more discussion around the book consider joining The Stacks Pack on Patreon and participating in The Stacks’ monthly virtual book club.
