I read that when I was in my 20s (I went through a Russian phase...lol)..it's a classic, great read. Why would she be afraid to read it??

It's a classic love story, tragedy (on all the must read 'literature' lists), ..not an 'easy' read in that it has the Russian names, etc...but certainly no worse than anything you've read before. I think Oprah is trying to act all 'intellectual'..lolol
I found a site called Sparks Notes...Literature Study Guides. Anna Karenina is there, so is The Bean Trees I mentioned. Anyway, it picks apart the book, states quotes and explains them and so on. Maybe you want to take a peek. I'm going to go see what it says about Bean Trees.
Oh, two more Russian novels I've read on on the first page..Ayn Rand..Atlas Shrugged and Anthem. Now, those were hard to read...lol They taught me a lot about Russian life, though. Not at all like Anna Karenina. These are more 'revolutionary'...citizens unite and all that stuff...lol

That's it! That's no big deal. I've read normal books with wierd names in them.
