Classic Russian novels are dense and LONG AS HELL. But Annabelle has the chops to get through epic works like Anna Karenina (875 pages) and War and Peace (1200-1400 pages) in just three days. THAT SHIT CRAY.
Leo Tolstoy was a 19th century Russian author. He authored the two novels mentioned above (which are universally regarded as two of the greatest literary works of all time and pinnacles in realist fiction), but a whole host of other full-length works, short stories, plays and philosophical musings.
NOTE: The photo is real. Color was just more expensive and time-consuming back then.

While people like to play sūdoku and Angry Birds on their mobile phones/tablets/whatever, Annabelle finds her books to be a more interesting and meaningful use of her time.
For those who don’t know, sūdoku is a Japanese puzzle game wherein you must fit the numbers 1-9 in a 9x9 grid so said numbers appear in each row, column and 3x3 square exactly once.
Angry Birds is an insanely fun and addictive iOS game developed by Rovio.

Little Birds is a 1979 erotica compilation written by Anaïs Nim that covers a wide range of sexual behavior. Many of the characters were taken from Nim’s earlier erotic novel Delta of Venus, a title which is a rather clever reference to the female genitalia.
Such a novel will undoubtedly get stares from passersby, so Annabelle tries to justify her read from a collector’s standpoint (the rarity of said book) versus enjoying all the smut.
I wonder if it has pictures…
