My daughter is also observant like this, always complimenting strangers on their nails, earrings, things I don’t even notice. Am absolutely going to try this.

Ok, but have you noticed that here on Substack, when you are drafting a post and go the email preview view, the sample subscriber is Konstantin Levin? When I saw that it made me so ridiculously happy. I read that book for the first time last year and couldn't STAND Anna, but Levin is now one of my all time favorite characters.

Okay, I found it. That is very funny and very clever! Agree that Levin is a treat. Anna is wearing on me...

Honestly Tolstoy gets into the human psyche like no one else.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? I have to find this...(also, Vronsky has just had a suicide attempt and survives, Anna almost dies and survives and there is still FIFTEEN HOURS left! What else is there?!?! I can't remember but I'm doubling down on finishing...)
