I have always been curious about his books so I'm taking a mental picture of his literary stronghold (thanks to your postcards) and will think of these the next time I come across his books.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742777265021634232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-43955135039940072322016-09-25T12:30:21.222+02:002016-09-25T12:30:21.222+02:00Well, of course if you count "dipping into&qu...Well, of course if you count "dipping into"... hmm...

I often wonder how many books I have read - if you count books dipped into for reference purposes.

I'm pretty sure I never read War and Peace more than once; and that was in this century, and mostly as audio book (although I bought a second-hand printed copy of the text as well). I also rencently watched a British TV series based on it, though. Anna Karenia I probably read twice. The copy in my bookcase was again bought 2nd hand not too many decades ago; but I think I recall reading it far back in my teens as well.
