Who's Anna Karenina? I could look it up but then I'd get some impersonal Wikipedia explanation rather than what they mean to you.

It's a novel by Leo Tolstoy; probably his second most famous, after War and Peace. It's mainly about the titular Anna Karenina being unfaithful to her husband, and her life subsequently falling apart. Levin is a secondary character who's considered to be a semi-autobiographical version of Tolstoy himself. His side plot involves some really interesting themes about social inequality (particularly between him and his serfs) and technology (he tries to make the lives of his serfs easier by providing machines that do their job for them, and is surprised when they are uncooperative). The rest of it is mainly about dysfunctional relationships and is a little bit dry and moralistic for my tastes.

Overall, it's a pretty cool book, but War and Peace is a lot better and much more worth your time in my opinion. Or you could play Dwarf Fortress instead.
