The Classic Club spin #21 for books to read until 31 October 2019, turned out to be #5. Book #5 on my list  is Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoj. It is a book I wanted to read for a long time, but it is a very thick one. I have a beautiful, old hardback translated from the Russian by Constance Garnett and illustrated by Fritz Eichenberg. It is printed by Doubleday & Company, Inc. in New York in 1948. As you see from the image below, the illustrations are beautiful. It will feel special to read this version. And as you see...I have already read the very famous beginning of this book.
