> Not getting very much out of Anna Karenina, supposedly one of the aesthetic and emotional heights of human expression and experience, doesn’t feel great. Incidentally, I have very recently stalled a second time on Anna Karenina, generally considered to be a masterpiece. I'll probably revisit it later, but it's just not for me at the moment. Also, The Idea Factory by Pepper White doesn't seem to be very popular (or maybe it is?). I first read it when I was in college and loved it. Re-read it in grad-school and I loved it even more. I think it was because I was in grad-school and could empathize with the main character.
