Gaius Julius Caesar* by Peter Orsted
*Accepting Orstedʻs spelling here, although C- is, by English-speaking classicists,
considered a better spelling of Caesarʻs forename (Caius/Gaius).

Ross and Tom; two American Tragedies*
by John Leggett
*The 1st name references are to novelists Ross Lockridge (Raintree County) and Thomas Heggen (Mr. Roberts); both died young.
Ironically, to my mind, biographer John Leggett, a little-published novelist, is probably better than either of them.

Anna Karenina
Leo Tolstoy
I am currently rereading this, but I don't know why. If I read one more time about a man's smiling and "showing his strong white teeth," read about a woman's "little hand" (Didn't any of the women back then in Russia have big hands?) or read the phrase "at the bottom of his/her heart" I think I shall scream. Maybe I'm just not sophisticated enough to enjoy/appreciate "great" literature, but it seems to me that, even though the story is interesting and tells a lot about Russian living during that time period, Tolstoy, like many others, is more interested in how many words he can write and tends to be a bit verbose. After reading the above, I see that also tend to be a bit verbose. lol
