Some of My Favorite Books

Here are some be of my "all time favorite books and some thoughts about each.

Anna Karenina  by Leo Tolstoy. This book, set in Tsarist Russia, is the definitive commentary on male-female relationships. All types, for all different reasons. Despite the geographic and temporal differences, the compromises we make as well as the passions we all seek are brilliantly set forth. While I prefer non-fiction to fiction, and modern to older books, this book had me addicted like an addict to the pipe.
