Elephant Complex: Travels in Sri Lanka by John Gimlette

Read or re-read a classic:
: Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Several of us in our Fiction book club decided we wanted to read and discuss Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. I haven't read it since high school (this is Joy) and I'm looking forward to seeing what my adult self thinks of this book that I loved in high school. If you want an excuse to read or re-read a classic, you've got some time. We will meet to discuss on Wednesday, November 15th at 5 pm over happy hour at Kenichi's.    
Merriam Webster has added 250 new words to the dictionary; Welcome to the New Words.
 
" 11 of the Worst Weddings in Literature" according to Electric Lit.
 
From Bookstr, " 11 Brilliant Novels That Are Longer Than 1,000 Pages". (I've tackled four of the 11; they are a commitment!). 
 
Last, I would love to see this: " Tower made of over 7,000 books" in Shenyang City, China.
