Let's talk about how to portion your pages of Anna Karenina.

5 mins/day and you've relished, savoured, let this grand novel expand your consciousness in just 8 weeks.

1) How do YOU find slow reading? Do you resist it? Does it reward you? Do you find it frustrating or freeing?

Happy reading, everybody!
